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
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds and rolled oats. Mix well.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Pour the almond butter mixture over the sesame seed and oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour to allow them to set firmly.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
