Tahini Marbled Brownies

How to Make Tahini Marbled Brownies

Making tahini marbled brownies is a breeze with Betty Crocker™ Lower Sugar Brownie Mix. Skip the hassle of starting from scratch and enjoy the rich, chocolaty flavor swirled with creamy tahini for a delicious twist. Check out the full list of ingredients and simple steps below to create these irresistible brownies.

Make the Brownie Batter

Start by following the box instructions to prepare the brownie batter, but use 2 eggs instead of 1. This gives the brownies a lighter, more cakelike texture, which helps the tahini swirl smoothly throughout. Once mixed, pour the batter into a greased 9-inch square pan, and spread it evenly. Be sure the batter is level so that the tahini will swirl evenly.

Add Tahini and Swirl

Stir the tahini well to make sure it’s smooth and easy to work with. Then, spoon the tahini by teaspoonfuls over the brownie batter, placing dollops across the surface. We like placing about 3 rows by 3 rows of tahini to keep it evenly distributed. Use a knife to gently swirl the tahini through the batter to create a beautiful marble effect. Don’t worry about making it perfect—just aim for a nice, swirled pattern.

Bake the Brownies

Bake the brownies for about 32 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick about 2 inches from the side of the pan. It should come out with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter. This means the brownies are baked through, yet still soft and fudgy on the inside. If you’re using a nonstick pan, reduce the baking time by 2 to 3 minutes.

Cool

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack—about 2 hours. This helps them set properly and makes cutting them easier. Once cooled, cut the brownies with a sharp knife into 4 rows by 4 rows, for 16 perfectly sized brownies.

Storing your Brownies

Once your tahini marbled brownies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days, keeping their soft and fudgy texture, perfect for snacking throughout the week.

If you want to keep them longer, you can store them in the fridge for 5 to 7 days. They may become slightly more firm, but let them come to room temperature before enjoying for the best flavor and texture.

For longer storage, you can freeze your tahini marbled brownies, too. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature, or warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds. Betty’s tip: They won’t take long to warm, so check often to prevent them from drying out.
