Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:

Make the Blondie Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Bake the Blondies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the blondies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Drizzle with Tahini and Serve:
- Once cooled, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of tahini and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, feel free to add a bit more tahini to the batter or drizzle extra tahini on top.
