Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sesame seeds
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Honey
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the sesame seeds for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the honey, brown sugar, and butter. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
Add the toasted sesame seeds, almond flour, and a pinch of sea salt into the honey mixture. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as it can quickly become too dark.
Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely in the pan. This cooling step is essential for setting the bars properly.
Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift the bars from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board.
Cut into 16 squares or your preferred size using a sharp knife.
Store the sesame bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
