Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup tahini or creamy nut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 pasture-raised eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and grease it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, cream together the tahini (or nut butter), maple syrup, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. This creates a smooth, flavorful base for your brownies.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the cacao powder and baking powder until the mixture is well combined. The batter will be thick and chocolatey.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for a few minutes to set properly. Then, slice into squares and enjoy your healthy, flourless brownies!

Notes

  • Use pasture-raised or free-range eggs for better flavor and nutrition.
  • If you prefer, swap tahini with any creamy nut butter like almond or cashew butter.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flaxseed eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water per egg) and ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free.
