Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw sesame seeds
- 0.5 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup raw almonds
- 0.25 cup raw honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, and almonds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the coconut oil. Add the honey, stirring until well combined, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, pressing it firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon or your hands to ensure it's compact.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge to firm up for an additional hour.
Once fully set, lift the block out using the parchment overhang and cut into bars of your preferred size.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
