Line two standard muffin tins with about 20 paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, cumin, garam masala, crushed chile peppers, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, oil, agave nectar, and nondairy milk.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Add extra milk if the batter seems too dry.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
If the muffins brown too quickly, cover them lightly with foil to prevent over-browning.
Remove the muffins from the tins and let cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
