Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Whisk wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix tahini, olive oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add dry ingredients: Stir in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 4

Fold in chocolate chips or nuts.

Step 5

Pour into pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake for 22–25 minutes, until set at the edges but still slightly fudgy in the center. Don't over bake they should look slightly underdone when you remove them.

Step 7

Cool completely before cutting — the texture becomes extra moist as it rests.
