Fudgy Tahini Brownies – vegan, gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free brownies. So delicious and indulgent while being full of minerals & vitamnis.

A decadent and fudgy brownie topped with the most beautiful tahini swirl – you need to try this recipe the next time you’re craving brownies!

These brownies were kind of an accident (is it just me or are the best recipes usually the ones that don’t go to plan?). I actually came up with this recipe while I was experimenting with these chocolate fudge tahini cookies. I realised the mixture I ended up with was looking more like a brownie batter, so I decided to change course half way through and make a brownie recipe instead. I’m glad I did because it resulted in these decadent, fudgy brownies!

If you’ve been following my blog or socials for any length of time, you’ll know how much I LOVE Tahini. I still get questions from people not really knowing what it is. In case you’re one of those people, tahini is a sesame paste/butter. A sesame version of peanut butter if you will. I always say tahini is the Middle Eastern equivalent to peanut butter because it’s such a popular ingredients over there. I grew up eating tahini and date syrup with bread for breakfast – like our own PB&J!

I love using tahini in sweet treats. Many don’t really know what to do with it, but just like peanut butter, it can be used in endless recipes and combinations. Chocolate is one of my favourite flavour pairings that goes so well with tahini.
