These brownies feature a unique tahini swirl that adds a subtle, nutty creaminess balanced by flaky sea salt, creating a fudgy yet slightly creamy texture with a savory twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (80g) tahini, well-stirred
  • about 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (Maldon or fleur de sel recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until no lumps remain. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted and cooled butter with the sugar until glossy and thick. Add eggs one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stop mixing as soon as no streaks of flour remain; the batter should be thick and fudgy.
  5. Transfer half the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Dollop the tahini in spoonfuls over the batter.
  7. Drop the remaining brownie batter on top and gently swirl the tahini into the batter with a butter knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
  8. Sprinkle flaky sea salt evenly over the surface.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes. The edges should be set and the center slightly soft and fudgy. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

Melt butter and let it cool before mixing with sugar to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely. Fold dry ingredients gently to keep batter fudgy. Warm tahini slightly if thick for easier swirling. Use flaky sea salt for best flavor balance. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
