Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sesame seeds
- 1 cup almond meal
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the honey and coconut oil. Heat over low heat until the mixture is thoroughly melted and combined, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt until fully integrated.
In a large mixing bowl, add the sesame seeds and almond meal. Pour the melted honey and coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well to ensure even coating.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure it compacts well.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and set. Be careful not to over-bake, as the bars can become too hard.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it onto a cutting board.
Cut into 12 even bars. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
