Tahini Swirl Brownies

I was somewhat suspect about this recipe but the flavour combination really works!  Give it a try and let me know what you think.

8 oz semi sweet chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 tbsp sesame oil
3 eggs
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup flour

3/4 cup room temperature tahini, well stirred
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt


  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • On low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave, melt together the semi sweet chocolate and butter.  They’ll seem like oil and water at first but will come together and look nice and shiny.  Stir in sesame oil and set aside.  To a large bowl, add eggs, beat until good and frothy, then stir in salt, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and then cooled melted chocolate and butter.  Stir in flour while making sure there are no lumps.
  • Grease an 8 inch cake pan, then pour in the batter.  Drop spoonfuls of stirred tahini on top of batter then pull through and swirl with the tip of a knife.  Place on the middle rack in a preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean. Sprinkle with salt and slice into 16 squares.
Serves 10 to 12
