Ingredients

2/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips, divided
2 large eggs
3/4 cup coconut or brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 Tablespoons blanched almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate frosting optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine the tahini, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, and coconut oil in a bowl and melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
Meanwhile, beat together the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for 1 minute.
Add the vanilla extract and melted chocolate mixture, then beat until combined.
Add in all dry ingredients, beating just until smooth.
Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
Transfer to the prepared pan.
Bake for 28-32 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. They are naturally fudgy, but if you like them extra fudgy, bake them for less time.
Once done, cool completely, then add frosting (optional) and enjoy!

Notes

I recommend the Whole Foods 365 brand tahini or Soom Foods Tahini. You ideally want one that is runny and not too dry/thick!
