Chewy caramel and bitter tahini
These are a more adult version of my Chewy Caramel Blondies. The tahini is a stunning addition as it adds a kind of savoury flavour to these, taking them to the next level. These are perfect with a cup of tea.
Date and Tahini Swirled Blondies
Makes 16 slices
Ingredients
110g butter, melted
250 g light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120 ml) tahini (1/2 go in the batter, 1/2 swirled through)
Pinch salt
150g plain flour
(see notes for ingredient replacement and store cupboard substitutions below the method)
Method
1) Heat oven to 165oC (fan). Line a 20 x 20 cm baking tin with non-stick paper.
2) In a medium bowl, beat together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth (give it a good beat for 30 seconds). Stir in egg, vanilla, half the tahini and salt and beat again for another minute with a wooden spoon.
3) Add flour and beat thoroughly for another minute and a half. This step is essential to make sure the blondie doesn’t separate in the oven.
4) Spoon the batter into the baking tin and swirl through the remaining tahini. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out relatively clean.
5) Cool then cut into squares.
Storing
Store blondies covered in an airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. You can also freeze up to 3 months.
Notes, additions and substitutions:
Sugar: Use half white and half dark brown sugar for even more caramel flavour
Butter: you can use coconut oil too in exactly the same quantities for lactose-free friends.
Flour: Other flours work well too, however self-raising produces a very different texture so I would steer clear of that.
//Tahini Swirled Blondies//
This is based on my original blondie recipe, but with the simple addition of a few spoonfuls of tahini. The tahini is a stunning addition, adding a kind of savoury flavour which balances the caramel sweetness of blondies. These are perfect with a cup of tea.
