Raspberry Tahini Brownie Bars

These fudgy brownie bars are made with mineral-rich cacao, fiber-supportive oats and flaxseed, and hormone-nourishing tahini. Flaxseed supports healthy estrogen metabolism and digestion, while cacao provides magnesium to support the nervous system and stress response. Tahini adds healthy fats and minerals that help stabilize blood sugar, making this a more grounding dessert option—especially supportive during the luteal and menstrual phases when the body benefits from steady energy and nourishment.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  
  

• 5 tablespoons water
  
  

• 1 cup quick-cooking oats, blended into oat flour
  
  

• ¼ cup cacao powder
  
  

• ½ teaspoon baking powder
  
  

• ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
  
  

• ¾ cup unsweetened nondairy milk
  
  

• 1 cup tahini, divided
  
  

• ¾ cup coconut sugar
  
  

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

• ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  
  

• 3 ounces fresh raspberries

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  
  

• In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with the water and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  
  

• In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and salt.
  
  

• Add the nondairy milk, ¾ cup tahini, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and thickened flax mixture. Mix until a thick batter forms.
  
  

• Fold in half of the chocolate chips and half of the raspberries.
  
  

• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Drizzle the remaining tahini over the top and gently swirl with a knife.
  
  

• Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top and gently press the remaining raspberries into the batter.
  
  

• Bake for 28–30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then cool completely before slicing.
