Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Equipment

  • 1 Medium or large mixing bowl
  • 1 9x12 square baking dish lined with parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup tahini
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seed
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup sesame seed
  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp unrefined sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 9x12" square pan with unbleached parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tahini and honey. Stir and warm until just beginning to bubble. Remove from heat and add vanilla. This can also be done over a double boiler to protect the nutrients in the honey.
  • In a large bowl, add coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt and cayenne. Mix well. Add the tahini mixture and stir until evenly combined.
  • Pour into prepared pan and press firmly until well packed.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack. Remove from pan by lifting out parchment paper. Slice into squares.

Notes

For optimal freshness I recommend storing these bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Or, freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
