Chocolate Chip Tahini Blondies are an irresistible twist on the classic blondie, combining the rich, nutty flavor of tahini with sweet chocolate chips. This recipe is perfect for those looking to explore new dessert options that are both indulgent and unique.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup tahini (preferably smooth)
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened applesauce (or one large egg for non-vegan option)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the applesauce (or egg) and vanilla extract to the tahini mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly within the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
