Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini, well-stirred (or sub with creamy cashew butter)
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
