Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Sesame seeds
- 50 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 50 grams Almonds, sliced
- 50 grams Pecan nuts, chopped
- 60 grams Butter
- 50 grams Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
To the same pan, lightly toast the shredded coconut, almonds, and pecans until slightly golden, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the sesame seeds.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the erythritol and stir until dissolved. Then add the vanilla extract, salt, and water, mixing until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. Use a spatula or the bottom of a glass to firmly press the mixture into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Once cool, lift out by the parchment paper and cut into bars.
Store the sesame bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for extra crunch.
