Rich, fudgy tahini brownies with bittersweet chocolate, a crackly top, and a creamy sesame swirl. These flourless brownies balance deep chocolate flavor with nutty tahini.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 tablespoons tahini, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the cornstarch and cocoa powder in a small bowl and stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until melted. Stir in the coconut oil and 3 tablespoons of the tahini until fully combined.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Using a hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat for 3 to 4 minutes, until smooth and doubled in volume.
  5. Add the salt and vanilla to the egg and sugar mixture. Add the melted chocolate mixture and beat on medium speed until combined. Increase to medium-high speed and beat for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until thick and holding its shape.
  6. Add the cornstarch and cocoa mixture and beat on medium-high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the batter is thick and well combined.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon tahini over the batter and swirl it through the surface with a toothpick or fork.
  8. Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, until the top is browned and the sides are puffed. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 9 squares.

Notes

  • For clean slices, allow the brownies to cool further before cutting and wipe the knife between cuts.
  • A toothpick or fork works well for creating a decorative tahini swirl.
  • Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
