once i had a taste for those amazing green kitchen stories hemp protein bars [recipe here], i went on the hunt for another type of treat that i could have on hand for those mid-day cravings. that's when i found their super sesame bars, which turned out to be the perfect snack.
they are surprisingly sweet for a super nutritious bar, filled with lots of goodies like super berries and walnuts, but filling enough that just one little square hits the spot. they have been a huge hit over with us treb's, minus the little guy. he's still a bit too young ;)

Super Sesame Bars
[via green kitchen stories. Makes around 18 bars]
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups walnuts
1 cup sesame seeds [you can also use half unhulled and half hulled]
1/3 cup goji berries
1/2 cup dried super berries [such as aronia, inca, mulberries or unsweetened cranberries]
4 tbsp honey or maple syrup
3 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 tsp salt
Directions
1] Lightly toast the walnuts in a large saucepan on low heat for a few minutes. Transfer them to a food processor and blitz into a coarse flour.
2] Add the sesame seeds to the sauce pan, make sure the heat is low as the sesame seeds are very heat sensitive - you want to lightly toast them without burning.
3] Meanwhile, add all the berries to the food processor. Pulse for at least a minute, then pour everything into the sauce pan. Add honey, coconut oil, shredded coconut and salt and stir around until everything is combined, sticky and warm.
4] Cover a 8x10-inch [20x25cm] baking dish with parchment paper and pour the sesame mixture into it. Flatten it out with your fingers and the backside of a spoon [dip it in water to prevent the sesame seeds from sticking to it]. Put in the fridge for at least an hour, then cut them up and wrap in sandwich paper.

I love the idea of turning simple, nutritious ingredients into a satisfying homemade snack. Recipes like this also highlight how food, family, and comfortable living spaces often go hand in hand. It's one of the reasons many people are drawn to scenic areas and explore options such as homes and villas in Northern Iran, where healthy meals and a relaxed lifestyle naturally complement each other.
ReplyDeleteThe Super Sesame Bars sound like a great practical snack, especially for keeping something nutritious on hand during the day. It also reminds me how small practical choices can improve everyday comfort at home. For properties, features such as double-glazed options can help with insulation and indoor comfort, while glazed window solutions can be an appealing feature when evaluating a home.
ReplyDeleteThese sesame bars sound like the perfect example of keeping things simple, practical, and satisfying. That same balance is important when considering buying a property, where smart planning, useful features, and long-term value can make a big difference.
