Ingredients

  • 130 g black sesame seeds + 2 teaspoons for scattering
  • 90 g light honey
  • 100 g smooth peanut butter
  • 300 g dark chocolate
  • 150 g unsalted butter room temperature
  • 120 g caster sugar
  • 120 g light brown soft sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 100 g teff flour
  • 25 g white rice flour
  • 25 g potato starch
  • 25 g tapioca flour
  • 25 g cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 30 g salted peanuts roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 150°C and line and grease a 20cm square cake tin.
  • Pour the sesame seeds into a food processor and whizz for 5-10 minutes until the seeds are broken down and are beginning to release their oils. Then add the honey and continue to process until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat the peanut butter until melted and pour into a piping bag. Set to one side.
  • Melt the chocolate slowly in a bain marie then also set aside.
  • Meanwhile beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in well. Then add the vanilla extract.
  • Pour in the melted chocolate and the black sesame paste and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl sift together the flours and cocoa powder then fold into the rest of the batter.
  • Pour half of the brownie batter into the cake tin.
  • Then pipe the molten peanut butter in zig zag lines on top of the batter. Using a wooden skewer, draw continual circles through the peanut butter lines to create a swirl pattern.
  • Pour the rest of the brownie batter over, smooth the surface, then pipe and swirl the rest of the molten peanut butter in the same way.
  • Scatter the salted peanuts and remaining black sesame seeds over the top.
  • Bake for 25 minutes in the centre of the oven.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin.
  • Once cool cut into 12 squares.
