These Gluten-Free Tahini Brownies prove that healthy desserts can still be incredibly rich and satisfying. With their fudgy texture, deep chocolate flavor, and wholesome ingredients, they are perfect for everything from weekday treats to special occasions.

Why You’ll Love These Gluten-free Tahini Brownies

These brownies are quickly becoming a favorite among health-conscious bakers because they offer a balance of flavor and nutrition.

Here’s why this recipe works so well:

• Naturally gluten-free
• Made with simple pantry ingredients
• No refined flour required
• Rich fudgy texture
• Healthy fats from tahini
• Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar
• Easy one-bowl recipe
• Perfect for meal prep or dessert

Tahini provides a creamy base that replaces traditional butter or oil, giving these brownies a dense, moist texture while adding nutrients like calcium, iron, and healthy fats.

Substitutions and Variations:

One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize.

Nut Butter Alternatives:

If you don’t have tahini, you can substitute with:

• Natural almond butter
• Cashew butter
• Sunflower seed butter

However, tahini produces the best texture and balanced flavor.

Peanut butter is not recommended because it tends to make the brownies too dry and dense.

Flour Options:

You can use either:

• Almond flour for extra healthy fats
• Oat flour for slightly more fiber

Both options keep the brownies gluten-free.

Add-In Ideas:

To customize your brownies, try adding:

• Chopped walnuts
• Pecans
• Coconut flakes
• Dark chocolate chunks
• White chocolate chips

Tips for Perfect Fudgy Brownies:

Follow these tips for the best results:

Use runny tahini: Thick tahini can make the batter too dense.

Don’t overbake: The brownies continue cooking slightly as they cool.

Line the pan: Parchment paper helps remove brownies cleanly.

Let them cool: Cutting brownies too early can make them fall apart.

PREP TIME: Under 10 MIN

COOK TIME: 23-28 MIN

TOTAL TIME: Approx 35 MIN

Whether you’re gluten-free, looking for a healthier dessert, or simply love brownies, this recipe is one you’ll want to keep on repeat.

Ingredients:

1 cup tahini, 240g

1/3 cup coconut sugar, 67g (any brown sugar)

¼ cup pure maple syrup, 80g

1 tsp vanilla extract, 4g

2 eggs

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 33g (or cacao powder)

1 tbsp almond flour or oat flour, 7g

1 tsp espresso powder, 2g (optional)

½ tsp baking soda, 2.5g

Pinch of salt

⅓ cup chocolate chips, 57g (dark or semi-sweet)

Flakey sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the tahini, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, eggs and salt until smooth and well combined. Fold in cocoa powder, almond flour, espresso powder and baking soda until batter is thick and smooth. Fold in 1/3 cup chocolate chips into the batter.
Spread batter evenly in prepared baking pan.
Bake for 23-28 minutes or until knife inserted into the middle comes out with just a few crumbs attached. Do NOT overbake!
After brownies have cooled a few minutes, sprinkle with flakey sea salt. Makes 16 brownies.
Note:
For the tahini: A natural, runny almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter can work as substitutes, but tahini will give you the best texture and flavor. We don’t recommend peanut butter, as it tends to make the batter too dry.
