Gooey Toasted-Coconut Chocolate Brownies are gluten-free, delicious, and simple to make with calcium-rich tahini.
This is the chocolate brownie recipe for those times where you want something super sweet and a little savory.
Tahini, which is made from ground sesame seeds, is rich in calcium, healthy fats, and plant-based protein. Along with being a nutrient-dense option to add to a brownie recipe, it’s a bit earthy creating a savory-sweet combination.
If you don’t enjoy tahini or just ran out, you can easily replace it with any other seed or nut butter you have stocked in the pantry.
A couple of other additions to this chocolate brownie recipe are to add chopped walnuts, pecans, or dark chocolate chips to add a little texture.

Healthy Fat
We can thank the cashews for a nice boost of healthy fats. Fats provide our body with a layer of protection, insulating our organs and keeping our core body temperature normal.
Healthy fats help our body digest fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K to keep our brains, cells, hormones, tissues, hair, skin, and nails healthy, and provide the structural component to many cell membranes which are essential for cellular development.
