Tahini Brownie Cake (GF)
Butter-less cakey brownies made with tahini. They are lighter than your typical brownies but every bit as delicious.
I felt I must call this brownie cake because well, they are pretty cake like. I love that these are made with tahini instead of butter and just a couple tablespoons of oat flour, making them gluten-free and having much healthier fat content than your typical brownie.
These tahini brownies feel a little lighter, but they still feel indulgent and taste amazing. They are simple to make, requiring just one bowl to mix up the batter! The drizzle is optional but highly recommended. It’s fun to do and of course makes the brownies just that much more indulgent.
