Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and espresso powder, if using.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the tahini mixture over the brownie batter in the pan.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the tahini dollops.
- Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the tahini mixture into the brownie batter to create ribbons.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
Notes
- For extra fudgy brownies, underbake them slightly.
- Ensure your tahini is well-stirred before using.
- You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture.
