Indulge in my Tahini Chia Egg Strawberry Brownies, where I elevate this dessert by incorporating fresh strawberries. These add an extra sweetness that complements the fudgy chocolate texture. No one will believe these brownies are egg-free, dairy-free, and low in carbs.

Ingredients
1/2 cup runny tahini
1 tbsp chia seeds
3 tbsp water
1/2 cup diced strawberries, rinsed (about 3-4 medium strawberries)
3/4 cup real maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup oat flour, regular or Gluten Free
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup oat milk chocolate chips
Tahini Layer
3 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp real maple syrup
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Sliced Strawberries for topping (about 3 medium) (optional)
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place parchment paper in a baking dish without greasing it. Put it aside.
Prepare the Chia Egg: Combine chia seeds and water in a small dish. Stir the mixture, then let it rest for approximately 5 minutes. Stir once more to ensure all the chia seeds are fully incorporated. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix the tahini, maple syrup, and vanilla with a whisk. *Note: If the tahini is firm, put the required amount in a microwave-safe dish and heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until it's fully softened. Then, add the chia egg and whisk all the ingredients together.
Next, use a spatula to blend in the oat flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, sliced strawberries, nuts and chocolate chips into the wet mixture. Mix until just blended.
Gently pour the batter evenly into your prepared dish. Utilize the spatula to spread the batter until it is smooth and uniform.
Prepare the Tahini Layer: In a small dish, add the tahini *(you may need to microwave it again before adding the rest of the ingredients), the maple syrup and vanilla. Stir to combine.
Next, pour the tahini layer on top of the brownie, then add the rest of the sliced strawberries.
Bake for approximately 25-35 minutes, adjusting for your oven. The top should achieve a nice golden color, with the strawberries baked on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Allow the brownie to cool for about 35-45 minutes. This time will help the brownies to firm up and make it easier to cut out slices.
Store on the counter for up to two days. Enjoy!
