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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt until fully integrated.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
Step 8
Once cooled, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it onto a cutting board.
Step 9
Cut into 12 even bars. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
