Best Tahini Brownies Recipes
VEGAN BROWNIES WITH TAHINI AND HALVAH
It was said that the recipient of the very first batch of these brownies polished them off, alone, in one sitting. There is no proof of this. What we do know is that they are vegan, deeply dark and fudgy. The recipe, which is based on one in Amy Chaplin's cookbook, "At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen," uses everyday ingredients to reach that fudginess: olive oil (a proven amplifier of chocolate's complexity) and dates (to round out the bitterness of the cocoa powder, and to act as a binder). But tahini and halvah are the two surprise players here, taking the recipe in a rich direction. The tahini disappears into the brownies, making them shockingly moist, while the halvah lends something familiar and unexpected. Regular almonds are fine; Marconas are better. You could replace the spelt flour with all-purpose for a less savory, more traditional effect.

Steps:
- Place dates in a medium heatproof bowl and pour boiling water on top to cover. Let soak until dates are softened, about 20 minutes, then drain well.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper; brush paper and sides of pan lightly with olive oil and set aside. Sift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a large bowl; whisk to combine and set aside.
- Place drained dates, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, tahini, vanilla, fine sea salt and 3/4 cup olive oil in a food processor; blend until smooth. Pour into the sifted flour mixture and whisk just until combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate and halvah. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread out in an even layer using an offset or rubber spatula. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds, then almonds.
- Bake until edges pull away from the sides of the dish and a toothpick comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool completely. Refrigerate until cold and firm before cutting. Bring to room temperature before eating, or enjoy them cold, straight out of the fridge.

Drop small teaspoonfuls of the reserved batter evenly over the tahini mixture. Gently swirl a knife through the tahini layer to create a marbled effect.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8" baking dish with 2 overlapping pieces of parchment, leaving overhang. Whisk cornstarch and cocoa in a bowl until no lumps remain. Heat chocolate, oil, and 1 Tbsp. tahini in a small saucepan over low, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute; remove from heat.
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat eggs and both sugars in a large bowl until light, smooth, and doubled in volume, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and beat in salt and vanilla. Scrape in chocolate mixture and beat to incorporate; beat in cornstarch mixture. Increase speed to medium-high and mix until batter is thick and stiff, about 1 minute. Scrape into prepared baking dish and smooth top.
- Stir agave nectar into remaining 3 Tbsp. tahini in a small bowl. Dollop spoonfuls over batter in 5 or 6 spots; drag a skewer or toothpick through to swirl.
- Bake brownies until edges are puffed, top is browned, and a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 22-26 minutes. Let cool. Remove from pan; cut into squares.
- Brownies can be baked 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
TAHINI SWIRL BROWNIES
This recipe elevates chocolate brownies with an elegant swirl of tahini (sesame seed paste) and a sprinkling of black and white sesame seeds. The sesame offers an unexpected nuttiness and cuts through the sweetness of the brownies, giving them a sophisticated flavor profile. I love adding a tablespoon of instant coffee powder or brewed coffee to the melted chocolate as well; the coffee's bitterness deepens the chocolatey flavor. These brownies prove that there are endless ways to play with a classic dessert recipe.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges to easily lift out the brownies.
- For the brownies: Place the butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Add 2 inches of water to a saucepan just wide enough to hold the bowl a few inches above the water and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and place the bowl over the water (make sure the water doesn't boil and the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the simmering water or the chocolate may scorch, making it grainy instead of smooth). Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until melted.
- Remove the bowl from the pot and turn off the heat. Stir in the instant coffee if using and the vanilla and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until completely combined. Whisk in chocolate-butter mixture until just combined. Place a sieve over the bowl and sift in the flour and fold gently to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- For the tahini swirl: Whisk the tahini, sugar, eggs and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Dollop the tahini mixture all over the top of the brownie batter. Using a butter knife or wooden skewer, swirl the tahini mixture into the top of the brownies. Sprinkle the brownies with the sesame seeds.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and allow the brownies to cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Remove the brownies from the pan and cut into squares for serving. Store the brownies for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
