  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, browned (2 sticks)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 heaping teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup chocolate halva tahini
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, or chopped dark chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often. Once it foams, crackles, and turns golden with brown bits, remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla extract.
  5. Stir brown sugar into the cooled browned butter until combined and sugar begins to dissolve.
  6. Add the egg and vanilla mixture into the butter mixture. Stir vigorously for about 20 seconds until glossy.
  7. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until just combined (some flour streaks are okay).
  8. Fold in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate if using.
  9. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
  10. Spoon chocolate tahini over the top in strips and swirl with a butter knife to create a marbled pattern.
  11. Bake for 20–22 minutes, until edges are golden and center is set.
  12. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Use a chocolate halva tahini for best flavor and swirl texture.
  • Don’t over-swirl the tahini to maintain a distinct marbled look.
  • Cool fully before slicing to help blondies set and hold their shape.
  • Add sesame seeds or chopped nuts on top before baking for extra texture.
  • Freezes well—wrap tightly for up to 2 months.
