🧂 Ingredients

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2-3/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1 Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet or a square pan with parchment
paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with a small amount of oil to prevent
sticking. an hour or so. Then you can remove it and slice them into pieces.
2 Toast the Sesame Seeds: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds
and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and aromatic.
Be careful not to burn them.
3 Add the honey: Add the honey or maple syrup into the pan with the seeds. Let it
bubble gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens
slightly. Then turn the heat to low and continue stirring frequently for another
1-3 minutes until it becomes a thick, sticky mixture.
4 Let cool: Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture onto the pan,
spreading it out evenly. I like to spread mine out pretty thin, about 1" thick.
Let cool at room temperature for a few hours until it's firmed up or pop in the
fridge for
