Allergen-free products are great — but most kids don’t like them.
They’re often dry, tasteless, or feel like medicine disguised as food. I saw that disappointment on my son’s face again and again. It wasn’t enough to make something safe; it had to be something he’d actually enjoy — soft, flavorful, and fun to eat.

That’s when I started mixing what I knew from art and from the kitchen: turning limitations into tiny, joyful creations. Snacks that are safe, clean, and full of personality, because every child deserves food that feels like a treat, not a restriction.

Notes

• The egg yolk glaze gives a natural shine and helps black seeds stick perfectly.
• High in plant protein and rich in B vitamins from nutritional yeast.
• Savory, sugar-free, and nourishing — ideal for lunchboxes or light snacks.

✨ The Transformation

Instead of shaping the dough into rings, I pressed small pieces into muffin cups to form tart shells. Before baking, I brushed them with a mixture of egg yolk and maple syrup — giving them a golden shine — and sprinkled black cumin seeds on top.

🧀🥑🍓 The Trio Layers

Once baked and cooled, I created three simple flavor layers:

Feta cream – lightly salty and creamy, balancing the crisp crust Mashed avocado – soft, fresh, and earthy Fruit jelly – a sweet finish that surprises the palate

Each mini tart became a tiny world of flavor — half pastry, half story — wrapped one by one for easy sharing or gifting.

🌿 A Taste of Renewal

These little tarts remind me how even the simplest dough can take new shape when given room to grow. The smell of maple and mahlep fills the kitchen, and the contrast of black seeds on golden tops feels like art born from a bakery.

Perfect for tea time, lunch boxes, or thoughtful handmade gifts — these Black Seed Mini Tart Trios carry the soul of Turkish tradition with a modern twist.
