Ingredients
  

Brownie Mix

  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup sugar I prefer coconut or raw
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon tahini
  • 2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 puréed ripe banana*
  • 1 flax egg 1 tablespoon ground flax seed + 3 tablespoon water
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • ½ cup chocolate chips optional

Topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl except for chocolate chips (if using).
  • Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl, slowly add them to the dry ingredients, and stir or whisk to combine. Stir in chocolate chips if desired.
  • Grease or line an 8x8 brownie pan with parchment paper. Pour the brownie batter into the pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoon tahini with 2 tablespoon maple syrup. Spoon in dollops over the brownie batter, and make swirl patterns with a knife. Top with chopped pistachios.
  • Bake for 42-48 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

*You can use 2 flax eggs if you prefer, but I like to use one ripe banana because it adds some sweetness and the taste is not too overwhelming!
