Homemade tahini browniesย are another one of my all-time favorite healthy clean eating snacks. I love the soft gooey chocolateness when they come out of the oven. These easyย homemade browniesย are perfect when you want something quick to curb the sweet cravings.
Ingredients Tips:
As always, let’s start by gathering our ingredients. Homemade brownies from scratch are such a better option then that pre made box stuff.
These are a base ingredients for making the best grain free tahini brownies. A quick rundown:

- Cashew flourย – this is a great alternative to almond flour and a staple in a paleo lifestyle as well as clean eating diet. It is made from nothing but cashews which provide you with those healthy fats. If you can’t find this in your local grocery store (often you can’t) you can get some online here: cashew flour.
- Cashew butter – cashew butter is another alternative to almond or peanut butter and it adds a delicious mild nutty flavor to these healthy fudge brownies.
- Tahini– tahini is simply made from sesame seeds and is full of healthy fats and antioxidants.
- Pasture raised eggs – when buying eggs I try to get pasture raised. These have a deep orange yolk instead of yellow because the hens are allowed to roam about the pasture and soak up the sun. They tend to be much better for you then the conventional eggs.
- Maple Syrup –ย make sure to use pure maple syrup like this one here: syrup.ย
- Coconut palm sugar –ย This is a healthier alternative to processed refined sugars. Coconut palm sugar also falls low on the glycemic index and is not as sweet as other sugars. You can find it online here: coconut palm sugar.ย
- Cacao and Cacao chips– make sure to use cacao powder and not cocoa powder. And there are 3 different type of chocolate chips that I use when baking. This comes down to personal preference.ย
How to Make Homemade Brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. This makes it easy to pull your homemade brownies from scratch out of the pan once cooked.
- Combine in a bowl: tahini, cashew butter, coconut palm sugar, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and eggs.
- Next, add the cacao powder, cashew flour, baking soda. You can also add a sprinkle of salt. The salt is optional. I add a dash of this salt.ย
- Lastly, add the cacao chips. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour your homemade brownie mix into your parchment lined pan, top with a few more cacao chips and pop into the oven.
- Cook for 22 – 25 minutes until your easy homemade brownies pass the toothpick test.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Once cool, cut your brownies and enjoy.
Easy Homemade Cashew Tahini Brownies from Scratch
This recipe makes approximately 16 brownies. Try not to eat them all at once.
If you eat them still warm they are so gooey and oh so good.
Once they cool they are deliciously chewy homemade brownies. You can’t go wrong either way. I tried to take a few photos of these homemade fudge brownies when they were still warm. You can practically taste them from the photo with that soft warm melted chocolate.
Then I was invaded and a few family thieves stole my delicious homemade tahini brownies. This may be why I don’t normally work on recipes with the family home. ๐
Once everyone left the kitchen and found something else to do I manage to grab a few new shots. These tasty brownies are fully cooled by now and I can make a cleaner cut in the cooled cashew tahini brownies.
If no one sees you eat them do the calories even count?
