  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).

  2. Combine the tahini, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy.

  3. Add the ground flaxseeds, almond flour, sea salt, and baking soda to the mixture and stir until a thick batter forms. Fold the chocolate chips in by hand.
