These Chocolate Tahini Brownies offer a unique and delightful twist on traditional brownies by incorporating chocolate tahini and a mix of hazelnut spread. The result is a rich, dense brownie with a deep, nutty flavor enhanced by the sweetness of maple syrup. The addition of cocoa powder deepens the chocolatey taste, while chocolate chips provide a pleasant texture contrast with bursts of melted chocolate in every bite.
Why You'll Love This:
If you're a fan of both chocolate and nutty flavors, these brownies are a dream come true. The use of tahini not only adds a creamy texture but also gives these treats a sophisticated flavor profile that sets them apart from regular brownies. They're incredibly easy to make, requiring just a few simple ingredients and a single bowl for mixing, making cleanup a breeze.
Perfect Occasion:
These Chocolate Tahini Brownies are perfect for casual get-togethers, family desserts, or as a special treat to enjoy with coffee or tea. They're also great for potlucks or office parties where you want to bring something a bit different that's sure to impress. Additionally, these brownies make a thoughtful homemade gift or a delightful treat for a bake sale.
Decoration Tips:
For an elegant touch, sprinkle the top of the brownies with sea salt before baking to enhance the flavors and add a slight crunch. Once cooled, a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted chocolate can make these brownies even more irresistible. If you're serving these at a gathering, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an indulgent dessert.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup tahini (preferably chocolate tahini, supplemented with hazelnut spread if needed)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- A dash of salt
- 1/3-1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make removal easy.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients:
- Sift in the cocoa powder and baking powder, adding a dash of salt. Stir until just combined, ensuring not to overmix to keep the brownies fudgy.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 24-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares. This resting period helps them set and makes them easier to cut.
Enjoy these delectable Chocolate Tahini Brownies, a unique take on a beloved dessert that combines the rich flavors of tahini and chocolate for a truly memorable treat!
