Flourless Dark Chocolate Chunk Tahini Blondies (vegan, gluten-free, grain-free)

Tahini is my new favorite addition to dessert! Tahini is a spread with a similar consistency to nut butter, but it's made of ground sesame seeds instead of nuts. Tahini is one of the main ingredients in hummus, so if you've had hummus- you've had tahini!

This blondie recipe has another very special ingredient...white beans! Oh, and chocolate chunks... because is it even dessert without chocolate?
