Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend over the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sesame seeds, almonds, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Stir well to ensure they are evenly mixed.
In a small pan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sugar-free syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients together until everything is thoroughly coated and combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This will help the bars firm up as they cool.
Once cooled, carefully lift the whole block out using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for a longer shelf life.
