Vanilla Tahini Blondies
Gluten-free, low glycemic, dairy-free, sugar-free, single-servings
If I have one signature blond brownie (aka blondie) that people ask me to bake over and over…this is it! This blondie bursts with the earthy flavors of sesame seeds in the form of tahini plus dark chocolate chips and maca powder. You just can’t find a more flavor forward blondie that is still healthy, low glycemic and refined sugar-free. Once you try these unique blondies, they will become your family’s favorite in your kitchen, too!

Ingredients
6 eggs
1 cup coconut sugar
1 and 1/2 cups tahini butter, unsalted
1 and 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Dry
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup whole millet (not flour)
3 tablespoons ground maca powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
Tops
sesame seeds
large crystal salt
Makes 18 blondies
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Line two 12-cup cupcake tins with paper inserts (18 total needed). Spray with coconut or olive oil spray to help the blondies turn out easily.
2. In a large bowl, using a whisk or hand mixer on medium high speed, beat together eggs and coconut sugar for 2 minutes, until creamy and sugar is dissolved. Add tahini and vanilla and mix again for 1 minute.
3. Make a well in the center of your egg batter and add into the well: almond flour, whole millet, maca powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients and then slowly blend them into the wet batter as you fold it all into a smooth blondie batter. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Scoop batter into each cupcake paper. Sprinkle sesame seeds and a generous pinch of large crystal salt over the top of each blondie.
5. Bake 14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with some goo on it. Do not overbake, they will continue to firm up as they cool.
