Description
A unique twist on the classic blondie, these Chocolate Chip Tahini Blondies are rich, nutty, and packed with flavor, making them a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup tahini (smooth): This is the star ingredient, providing creaminess and a unique flavor.
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed: Brown sugar adds moisture and a deep sweetness.
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar: This helps to balance the flavors and adds a slight crunch.
- 2 large eggs: Eggs bind the ingredients together and contribute to the blondies’ structure.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Vanilla enhances the overall flavor, making it more aromatic.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder: This helps the blondies rise and become fluffy.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda: Baking soda works with the brown sugar to create a chewy texture.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt: A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour: Flour provides the base for the blondies, giving them structure.
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips: These add a rich chocolatey goodness that pairs perfectly with tahini.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Choose smooth tahini for the best texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For gluten-free options, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour.
