Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup (135 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (optional for extra moisture)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup (75 g) melted unsalted butter or 1/3 cup neutral oil
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
- Pinch flaky sea salt for finishing (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with parchment, letting the edges hang over for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar (if using), salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter (or oil) with tahini, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay.
- Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra tahini over the top and swirl with a toothpick for a marbled effect. Lightly sprinkle flaky salt over the surface if you like a salty finish.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Edges will look slightly matte and firm.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a rack, then lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.
