February recipe of the month

You’ll Love February’s Recipe of the Month: Grain-Free Tahini Brownies (Best Brownies I’ve Ever Eaten!) I really mean it when I say these are the BEST brownies I’ve ever eaten.

We have many different ways you can customize these brownies to truly make them your own. Check them out below and of course read through the recipe blog post yourself for all the tips you need.

  • For the tahini: a natural, dripping almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter should work, but tahini is your best bet! We do not recommend using peanut butter as it becomes too dry.
  • For the coconut sugar: You can use brown sugar instead. Learn how to make your own here! I actually prefer to use brown sugar in this recipe for a more fiddly brownie!
  • Make Dairy Free: Be sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips like this brand.
  • To make vegan: Use two flax eggs instead of the regular eggs. Learn how to make flaxseed eggs here!
