Sesame Snaps

These great treats have wonderful amounts of calcium and plant sterols. Plant sterols help to balance the immune system and reduce cholesterol. Coconut sugar is a low glycemic sweetener made from sap of coconut flowers. Rich in vitamins and minerals, Organic Coconut Sugar is a nutrient dense alternative to ordinary sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) coconut sugar
  • 1 cup (250 mL) brown rice syrup
  • 1 tsp dried ginger powder
  • 3 cups (750 mL) white sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) chia seed
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Optional
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

    (Note: this all happens very quickly! Be sure to prep everything in advance and have equipment on hand so bars don’t harden before all steps are complete.)
  1. In heavy saucepan, stir together coconut sugar, salt and rice syrup. Bring to boil over medium heat. Add ginger and Magsense/lemon juice (if desired) and stir.
  2. Combine black sesame seeds and dulse and apple butter in a small zip lock bag and set aside.
  3. Combine white sesame seeds, chia seeds in a measuring cup. Stir white seed mixture into sugar until mixed and immediately pour onto greased baking sheet, spreading with greased spatula.
  4. Using a sharp knife, score into squares to create a rectangular small bar about an inch long. Let cool completely and transfer to a air tight container.
