Tahini Brownies
These are not your average brownie... they are earthy, nutty, and have an incredible chewy texture thanks to the secret ingredient, tahini! Tahini is a creamy paste made from sesame seeds that is a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. The toasty-flavor pairs perfectly with sweet chocolate, making these the brownies truly memorable (and secretly nutritious thanks to the healthy fats in tahini!).
