Halvah is a popular sweet treat in the Middle East and India. It’s made from sesame seeds, which are ground and mixed with various flavorings. You can use it in both savory and sweet dishes. This halvah pancake recipe gets savory and sweet flavors from a blend of almond flour, tahini, and coconut sugar.

Whether this is your official introduction to halvah or you’re already a long -time fan like me, I can definitely guarantee that you’ll love this easy and delicious Halvah Pancakes recipe!
