Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt the coconut oil and chocolate gems in the microwave at 30-second intervals in a microwaveable bowl. Stir between each interval until the mixture is fully melted and liquefied. Set aside to cool.
In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, mix the eggs, egg yolk, and coconut sugar on high for 3 minutes. Then, add the vanilla extract and tahini and mix until just combined.
Gently stir in the liquid chocolate with a rubber spatula. Then, gently stir in the coconut flour, salt, and cocoa powder until there are no lumps.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly.
Bake for 27 to 33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool on a baking tray for at least an hour, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
Storage
Store at room temperature for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Wrap brownies in plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container.

Tips
To keep your brownies moist during storage, add a slice of white bread to the container.
Let your brownies cool completely before slicing them to ensure they don't fall apart.
For clean edges, use a sharp knife, long even strokes, and as little pressure as possible while slicing.
