Grain-Free Tahini and Salted Caramel Blondie
Grain-Free Sea Salt Tahini Blondies Filled with Coffee Caramel
We put our own twist on a classic blondie by adding smooth, nutty tahini to our Ultimate Grain-Free Cookie Mix, filled them with delicious coffee caramel, and sprinkled on flakey sea salt. We can guarantee you've never had anything like these before. They're a crowd pleaser, but we get it if you don't want to share.
What is Tahini?
Tahini is made of three ingredients: hulled sesame seeds, oil, and sometimes salt. Hulled sesame seeds are typically toasted then ground and emulsified with oil to create a smooth, creamy seed butter with a pourable consistency.

Ingredients:
Blondies
- 1 bag of Otto’s Naturals Ultimate Cookie Mix
-
½ cup melted butter
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1 egg (or flax egg)
-
½ cup tahini
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Coffee Caramel
-
½ stick unsalted butter
-
70 grams coconut sugar (about 1/3 cup)
-
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon instant coffee
-
¼ cup coconut milk
-
¼ tsp fine salt
Garnish
- Malden Flaky Sea Salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Combine Ultimate Cookie Mix, melted butter, vanilla, egg, and tahini in a bowl.
-
Pour ½ of the mix into a parchment paper-lined 8x8-inch pan and carefully mold the mix into all the corners of the pan. Remove parchment and mix before placing in the freezer for 30 min.
-
Pour the other half of the mix into the parchment-lined pan. Bake for 25 min. Let cool.
-
While the first layer is cooling, heat a pan over medium heat and add butter, sugar, syrup, and instant coffee. Let sit for about 30 seconds and stir until ingredients are combined and begin to form a sticky caramel-like consistency. Add coconut milk and fine salt. Stir for 1 more minute.
-
Remove from heat and pour into a glass measuring cup. Let cool for 2-3 minutes.
-
Pour caramel over the first layer of baked blondie mix. Remove frozen blondie mix from the freezer and place it on top of the caramel.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and sprinkle on Malden’s flakey sea salt.
-
Let cool. Enjoy.
