VEGAN BROWNIES WITH TAHINI AND HALVAH



Vegan Brownies With Tahini and Halvah image

It was said that the recipient of the very first batch of these brownies polished them off, alone, in one sitting. There is no proof of this. What we do know is that they are vegan, deeply dark and fudgy. The recipe, which is based on one in Amy Chaplin's cookbook, "At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen," uses everyday ingredients to reach that fudginess: olive oil (a proven amplifier of chocolate's complexity) and dates (to round out the bitterness of the cocoa powder, and to act as a binder). But tahini and halvah are the two surprise players here, taking the recipe in a rich direction. The tahini disappears into the brownies, making them shockingly moist, while the halvah lends something familiar and unexpected. Regular almonds are fine; Marconas are better. You could replace the spelt flour with all-purpose for a less savory, more traditional effect.

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 ounces/115 grams pitted dates (2/3 cup packed)
2 cups/480 milliliters boiling water
3/4 cup/180 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups/270 grams spelt flour
3/4 cup/90 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/210 milliliters unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
3/4 cup/180 milliliters maple syrup
3/4 cup/120 grams coconut palm sugar (see Tip)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters tahini
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 ounces/115 grams vegan bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
3 ounces/90 grams vegan halvah (see Tip), finely crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
4 teaspoons white sesame seeds
1/2 cup/70 grams finely chopped toasted Marcona almonds or roasted cashews
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Place dates in a medium heatproof bowl and pour boiling water on top to cover. Let soak until dates are softened, about 20 minutes, then drain well.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper; brush paper and sides of pan lightly with olive oil and set aside. Sift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a large bowl; whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Place drained dates, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, tahini, vanilla, fine sea salt and 3/4 cup olive oil in a food processor; blend until smooth. Pour into the sifted flour mixture and whisk just until combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate and halvah. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread out in an even layer using an offset or rubber spatula. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds, then almonds.
  • Bake until edges pull away from the sides of the dish and a toothpick comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool completely. Refrigerate until cold and firm before cutting. Bring to room temperature before eating, or enjoy them cold, straight out of the fridge.

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
4 tablespoons tahini, divided
2 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon light agave nectar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8" baking dish with 2 overlapping pieces of parchment, leaving overhang. Whisk cornstarch and cocoa in a bowl until no lumps remain. Heat chocolate, oil, and 1 Tbsp. tahini in a small saucepan over low, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute; remove from heat.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat eggs and both sugars in a large bowl until light, smooth, and doubled in volume, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and beat in salt and vanilla. Scrape in chocolate mixture and beat to incorporate; beat in cornstarch mixture. Increase speed to medium-high and mix until batter is thick and stiff, about 1 minute. Scrape into prepared baking dish and smooth top.
  • Stir agave nectar into remaining 3 Tbsp. tahini in a small bowl. Dollop spoonfuls over batter in 5 or 6 spots; drag a skewer or toothpick through to swirl.
  • Bake brownies until edges are puffed, top is browned, and a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 22-26 minutes. Let cool. Remove from pan; cut into squares.
  • Brownies can be baked 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup tahini
¾ cup Greek yogurt
½ cup white sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ¼ cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine tahini, yogurt, sugar, egg, and milk in a medium bowl; mix until smooth.
  • Combine melted butter and sugar in a bowl and mix until well combined. Whisk in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Combine flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Gently mix into the butter mixture until batter is thick and smooth.
  • Remove 1 cup of the batter and set aside. Spread remaining batter into the prepared baking pan. Pour tahini mixture on top and spread all the way to the edges of the pan. Drop small teaspoonfuls of the reserved batter evenly over the tahini mixture. Gently swirl a knife through the tahini layer to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted in the center comes out almost clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing into squares.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality tahini: A good tahini will be smooth and creamy, without any bitterness. Look for a brand that uses 100% sesame seeds and no added oils or fillers.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in brownies that are tough and chewy. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a dark chocolate: A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% will give the brownies a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting: This will help them to set and will prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Tahini brownies are a delicious and unique dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you are serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, these brownies are sure to be a hit.
