Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup almond butter
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds and rolled oats. Mix well.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the almond butter and maple syrup. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Pour the almond butter mixture over the sesame seed and oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour to allow them to set firmly.
Once the bars are set, use the parchment paper to lift them from the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 even bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
