Print Recipe

These fudgy tahini swirl brownies feature a rich chocolate base with a nutty tahini marbled swirl and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120 g) tahini, well-stirred
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Mix melted butter and sugar in a large bowl until combined and glossy, about 2 minutes using a hand mixer or whisk.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients using a spatula until no streaks remain, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Transfer half the batter to the prepared pan and smooth evenly. Dollop tahini over the batter in teaspoons, then pour remaining batter on top. Swirl tahini gently through the batter with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
  6. Sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 25-28 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Check at 25 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out with the parchment overhang, at least 1 hour.

Notes

Use smooth, well-stirred tahini for best swirling effect. Do not overmix the batter to maintain fudgy texture. Flaky sea salt is essential for the perfect flavor contrast. Bring eggs to room temperature before mixing. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use non-dairy milk if needed. Almond flour can be used for gluten-free version.
