🛒 Ingredients

✓ 8 Medjool dates, pitted and roughly chopped
✓ 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat)
✓ 2 tbsp tahini (unsweetened, well-stirred)
✓ 1 tbsp tahini oil or neutral oil
✓ 1 whole large egg
✓ 2 large egg whites
✓ 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 1/3 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
✓ 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
✓ 1 tbsp tahini (for swirl on top)
✓ 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
✓ 1 tbsp unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped
✓ Pinch of fleur de sel or Maldon salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Blend the Date Base: Place pitted Medjool dates in a food processor or blender with 3 tablespoons of warm water. Pulse until smooth and paste-like (about 1–2 minutes). Scrape into a medium bowl.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add Greek yogurt, tahini, tahini oil, whole egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the date paste. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until fully combined and creamy. The mixture should be thick but pourable.

3. Gently Fold Egg Whites: In a separate small bowl, whisk the 2 egg whites to soft peaks (about 1 minute by hand). Gently fold half into the date mixture in two additions, preserving air. This adds lift without extra fat.

4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift flour and salt into the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix. A few small lumps are fine; this keeps blondies tender.

5. Prepare Pan & Pour: Line a small 6×6-inch square baking pan (or 4×8-inch loaf pan) with parchment paper. Pour batter in and smooth the top with a wet spatula. Batter will be thick and fudgy.

6. Swirl Tahini Top: Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of tahini mixed with 1 teaspoon honey over the surface. Use a skewer or fork to swirl it gently in figure-8 patterns. Sprinkle pistachios and salt on top.

7. Bake Until Set: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 23–27 minutes. The centre should be just-set with a slight jiggle—do not overbake. A toothpick inserted in the centre should have a few moist crumbs (like fudgy brownies).

8. Cool & Cut: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for another 15 minutes. Cut into 2 large squares or 4 smaller pieces. Best served at room temperature or slightly warm.
