Oreo pancakes. Pumpkin cheesecake french toast. Sometimes you wake up and just feel like #treatingyoself to a fancy breakfast. I'm usually too lazy in the mornings to make anything except my usual smoothie bowl, but when I want to get fancy, then this tahini maple toast is my go-to. It's vegan, ready in less than 15 minutes, and tastes like the cinnamon toast crunch cereal of your childhood. Set down the avocado roses and pick up the tahini; there's a new toast in town.
