Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sesame seeds
- 50 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Erythritol
- 60 milliliters Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 20 grams Chia seeds
- 60 milliliters Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and water. Stir well and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sesame seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, erythritol, and salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the chia seed mixture and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well until everything is fully combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 12 bars.
Store the sesame seed bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
