These are wholesome, nutritious and just plain delicious. With the tahini and coconut in them they make the perfect energy bar to have as breakfast or put in your lunchbox. And it's so easy to make too.
Ingredients
  • 3 Cups Puffed Brown Rice (Unsweetened) - You can also use rice krispies
  • ½ Cup Sesame Seeds
  • ¼ Cup Whole Flax Seeds
  • ½ Cup Roasted Coconut Chips
  • ¼ Cup Honey
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Oil (liquid) or Canola Oil
  • ¼ Cup Raw Tahini (not the prepared spread)
  • ⅛ Cup Brown Sugar
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, mix the puffed rice, sesame, flax and coconut.
  2. In a small saucepan, place the honey, coconut, tahini and sugar and mix over low heat until you get an even batter (it should be smooth – don’t heat too much so you don’t burn the tahini).
  3. Remove from heat once smooth and add to the sesame mix and using a large/ wooden spoon, fold everything together evenly, until it’s all covered with the tahini batter.
  4. Pour the batter into a 6”X12” baking pan covered with parchment paper (I lightly grease the paper to allow easy removal later on) and flatten using your hands or by placing a sheet of parchment paper on top and tightening the batter with your hands or by rolling a glass on the paper.
  5. Place in the fridge for 2 hours.
  6. After 2 hours, remove and turn over onto a board. Cut desired size using a sharp knife (but not too small or it’ll crumble).
  7. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge.
