Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons tahini (runny and well-stirred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Microwave 30 seconds, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Cool 1–2 minutes.
  3. Stir in salt and vanilla. Add egg and mix until glossy, about 20 strokes.
  4. Stir in flour vigorously for about 40 strokes until thick and slightly airy.
  5. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
  6. Dollop tahini over the top and swirl gently with a toothpick or knife.
  7. Bake 20–25 minutes on lower oven rack until edges are set and toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool 10–15 minutes in pan, then lift out and cool completely before slicing into 8 brownies.

Notes

  • Stir tahini well before using for smooth swirls.
  • Double recipe for an 8×8-inch pan; increase baking time slightly.
  • For vegan option, use plant butter and a flax egg.
  • Add chocolate chips for extra richness.
  • Do not overbake — brownies should remain fudgy inside.
