Method:

1. If using whole almonds, add them to a blender and blitz. Otherwise add almond meal directly to a bowl.

2. Add remaining ingredients and mix until combined. Tip: store tahini in the pantry (not fridge) so it’s soft and easier to work with. Otherwise, heat it slightly in a saucepan with the maple syrup, salt and vanilla before adding to the almonds.

3. Rolls into balls and place on a baking tray. Flatten with a fork.

4. Bake at 170C for 10mins or until slightly golden.
