Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned
- 2 eggs
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
- 2 cups plus 2 TBSP gluten free flour
- 1 tsp xanthum gum
- 1 heaping tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup chocolate halva tahini (I used Soom Foods Sweet Tahini Halva Spread)
- 1 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, or chopped dark chocolate {optional}
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees
- Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper
- To brown the butter, place two sticks of butter in a large saucepan on medium high
- Melt butter, stirring only occasionally
- Once melted, begin stirring often
- Butter will crackle and pop as it browns and it will start to foam slightly
- Once sizzling sound stops, continue stirring often until brown bits begin to collect on the bottom of the pan
- Remove from heat, pour into a medium bowl and allow to cool slightly – – about 10 minutes
- Meanwhile, whisk together gluten free flour, xanthum gum and salt
- Whisk together eggs and vanilla in a separate, small bowl
- Once butter is slightly cooled, add brown sugar and stir until well combined and sugar is dissolved (about 1 minute)
- Add egg/vanilla mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and stir vigorously for about 20 seconds until shiny
- Slowly add flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until barely combined, some bits of flour will still be visible
- Gently fold in chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate if desired and mix until combined
- Pour batter into lined pan
- Spoon 1/2 cup (or more if desired) of chocolate tahini in 4 long strips on top of blondie batter, lengthwise
- Using a butter knife, swirl the chocolate tahini into the blondie batter creating an even swirl pattern
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until edges are golden brown and center of pan is set
- Cool on a wire rack
- Cool completely before cutting into squares
