We all need a lil’ bit (or a lot) of muffins in our life right? Right. Well, do I have a muffin recipe for you! These are the BEST DANG TAHINI MUFFINS EVER because they not only are fluffy, moist and soft just how muffins should be- but they’re studded with delicious morsels of semi sweet rich chocolate! Tahini is like the adult, more sophisticated version of peanut butter. Peanut butter chocolate? Yes. TAHINI chocolate? HECK YES. These two flavours pair so fabulously together, I’m guilty of dipping my chocolate bars into a jar of drippy tahini… anyone else?

This easy recipe consists of only 9 ingredients that go into one bowl.


Mix. Mix. Fold. Mix. Then scoop them into some muffin tins.


Into the oven it goes for around 12 minutes and they’re done!

Tips and Tricks to making this Tahini Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe
- Use overripe bananas! They have natural sweetness & give the muffins more moisture. The more spotty the tastier. Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on ripeness.
- Use runny tahini as this gives the muffin more moisture along with the bananas.
- Make these for meal prep & freeze them for maximal freshness! Just thaw them out the night before or when you wake up so that they’re defrosted by the time its breakfast/snack time.
- If you have any food allergies, sub the tahini for sunflower butter or any nut/seed butter of your choice! They can be *insert name of nut/seed butter here chocolate chip muffins* and still be delicious 🙂
- Toast these muffins if you have time! The chocolate chips get melty and spread around the muffin- SO GOOD.

Made these a week ago and they were really delicious! In my opinion the banana is a bit too prevalent, but as someone who likes banana it's super tasty!
They're really fluffy, just like I remember muffins from my childhood 😀 I tried to come up with healthier muffin recipies but they were always very dense, so I'm thankful for this recipe!
Will try with blueberries instead of chocolate this weekend 🙂

Hi! Happy to hear you enjoyed these- the blueberries would be amazing!!
Ann says
Are there alternatives to potato starch? Can you use GF flour mix? Or tapioca flour? etc?
Lisa Kitahara says
Hi Ann! You can try using tapioca flour but it might be just a tad more dense because potato starch helps fluff it up.
Edmundo says
I can't see potato starch in the recipe.
