Who knew tahini could create such dessert yumminess? Slightly chewy with a nutty flavor,, these bars are gluten-free and come together quickly in one bowl. The drizzle of dark chocolate on top is the perfect sweet touch!
1/23.5 oz bardark chocolate, chopped or 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1tspcoconut oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8"x8" baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Grease the paper or foil with a dab of oil.
Whisk together the melted vegan butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the egg, vanilla extract and tahni. Whisk together until combined.
Add the flours, salt and baking powder and stir until combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate. The batter will be soft and slightly sticky.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly and smoothing the surface.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, until the top is light golden brown and firm, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Remove paper or foil when completely cooled .
While cooling, prepare glaze: Combine chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes on med-high, stirring, until smooth. Drizzle over bars. Let cool or refrigerate, then slice into 12 bars. Enjoy!
Notes
Chicken Eggs: Please use only pastured or Certified Humane Free Range eggs-- I like Pete & Jerry's. While it claims to be "cage free", the brand Nellies is not truly cage-free nor certified humane. Look for "Pasture Raised" or "Certified Humane Free Range" on the package. Flax Egg: 1 Tbsp flax meal mixed with 3 tbsp water. Combine and let thicken for about 10-15 minutes.
