Ingredients
Nothing beats using your own fresh produce or materials around the house.
If you’re missing a thing or two, tick the items you need to add to your shopping list.
What to do
-
-
In a nonstick pan, melt the coconut butter and agave on medium heat until runny, siring often.
-
Mix all remaining ingredients (apart from sesame seeds) in a mixing bowl until well combined, then add to the pan. Stir frequently.
-
Toast until golden, then immediately remove from heat.
-
Add ingredients to a blender and mix at 3 second intervals. The ingredients should still be chunky and not blended.
-
Transfer mixture to a flat pan and press down using a spatula. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. (Tip: if the mixture doesn’t seem sticky enough, melt some more coconut butter and agave and drizzle on top.)
-
Transfer to fridge to set (this will take a few hours). Once set, cut into squares and store in an airtight container, or wrap individually for an on-the-go snack!
