Vegan Salted Tahini Brownies
Hello & Happy Tuesday!!
If there is one thing I love, it’s a good brownie! I’ve dabbled in brownie recipes over the years, but never real produced a staple brownie concept. They were always sweet potato or something far from the traditional version. So Last week I was in the kitchen testing a few different recipes. Believe it or not, eggs play an integral role in creating a memorable brownie. They serve as a binder and even give you that crinkly top that we all know and love.
Many of the varieties I saw online perhaps had that brownie flavor, but lacked the texture that I crave. Many were just too mushy and had no texture. To me the perfect browning is gooey, but it also packs a crust on top and isn’t just mush, these vegan Salted Tahini Brownies, are just that!
What’s fab about this recipe? Everything! It’s quick, easy, doesn’t require Aquafaba eggs, you don’t have to melt chocolate, you can modify the amount of sugar, it features stevia sweetened chocolate, they are crispy yet gooey, hold together, are perfect for any season, are thick and not flat, have notes of tahini but not overwhelming, notes of salt, you can add tahini on top if desired, and are just hands down, my newest obsession!
If you love a good vegan brownie or all things tahini, you have to try these new vegan Salted Tahini Brownies!
Why this recipe is great:
Quick
Easy
Packs tons of chocolate flavor
Has notes of tahini
Has notes of salt
Has texture throughout and not a soggy mess
Hold together
