Super Rich
Tahini Brownies
I took these to a birthday party, and they were a HIT – seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dessert plate go as fast as these did. The rich, savory, and distinctive taste of these brownies made them incredibly memorable and popular. I got multiple requests for the recipe, which is truly the greatest of all compliments.
Seriously, I cannot emphasize this enough… these tahini brownies have the perfect texture and taste – the creamy, nutty nature combined with the chocolate, butter, and cocoa result in an incredible savory experience. Because of the tahini, this recipe is secretly packed with healthy fats and nutrients.
They’re also easy to whip up – and a perfect opportunity to embrace seasonal baking. Experiment with mixing in fruit during the Spring, ice cream in the Summer, pumpkin or cinnamon during Autumn, or extra dark chocolate in Winter. And make sure to tag us when you do!
