- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Melt 4 squares of dark chocolate with 3 tablespoons of avocado oil in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture with 1/3 cup of hulled tahini, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of almond milk, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and just under 1/4 cup of coconut sugar until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- Sift 1/4 cup of cacao powder into the wet ingredients, then fold in 1/2 cup of almond flour and 1/2 cup of gluten-free flour (or use 1 cup of one type of flour as preferred).
- Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for about 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't overbake if you want them to retain a fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for several minutes before slicing into squares.
- Serve warm or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Enjoy these heavenly tahini brownies, a sumptuous treat that brings a delightful twist to your usual brownie indulgence!
