This recipe is by Adeena Sussman, author of over 14 cookbooks, including one of our very favorites, Sababa, voted one of the best of 2020 by the New York Times!

We gave this recipe a bit of ‘Seed + Mill’ flair, by adding some halva and tahini! But, if you don’t eat sesame seeds during Passover, you can leave these two ingredients out and go with Adeena’s original suggestion of adding in marshmallows!

Makes 12 brownies.

INGREDIENTS 
1/2 c (1 stick) butter (or margarine, if you are looking for a dairy free option)
Plus extra for greasing the pan
12 oz semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
2 eggs
¾ c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 teaspoon warm water
½ c matzoh cake meal (you could try this with finely ground almonds as well)
1 tbs potato starch
¼ tsp sea salt
4 tbs Seed + Mill Organic Tahini (leave out if you are not eating sesame during Passover)
1 c chopped Seed + Mill Halva (any of our flavors would be great here) or mini marshmallows if not using halva for this recipe
½ c chopped walnuts (optional, if looking for nut free)

STEPS
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with butter (or margarine if dairy free) and set aside.
3. Combine the chocolate chips and butter in a bowl and place the bowl over a pot of simmering water until the chocolate has melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate, by adjusting the water temperature. Once melted, give it a stir and set aside to cool.
4. Whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and coffee in a medium bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the Matzo meal, potato starch, and salt.
5. Whisk the egg mixture into the dry mixture until incorporated, then fold in the melted chocolate mixture until incorporated.
6. Fold in the chunks of halva (or marshmallows) and nuts until just combined.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
8. To create your tahini swirl, dollop 4 tbs of tahini in the 4 quarters of the baking dish. Using the back of a small spoon (or the other end of a fork, knife etc.), create a swirling pattern by gently dragging the end of the spoon through the batter. Check out this instruction video here! Leave out the tahini if you don’t eat seeds during Passover.
9. Bake for 35-40 mins until the top is slightly cracked and firm.
10. Cool and cut into squares.

These brownies are intentionally fudgy and ‘gooey’ on the inside (rather than a traditional cake style brownie). These will last in an airtight container for up to a week.
