Tahini Brownies Recipe
Tahini Brownies
My heart swoons for fudgy, rich brownies. If you are on team fudgy brownie these ones are for you. They also happen to be grain-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free. They are easily made refined sugar free too, just look for chocolate chips, chunks or bars sweetened with something like coconut sugar. But forget about all that because they are good. Not good despite being free from all those things, just good, period.
