Sesame Honey Energy Bites

Anyone else love sesame seeds? They may just be one of my favorite foods! I love the sesame sticks from the bulk food section at the grocery store and I love the candy bites too! I don't always love the ingredients though. I decided to make my own so that I can enjoy them without worrying about what ingredients went into them.

I looked through pages of recipes and decided I would just try my own thing because, how hard could it be? Through a little trial and error I came up with this simple recipe that tastes DELICIOUS!

I started with these ingredients. Simple isn't it?!

I toasted the sesame seeds a bit in the pan before I added the honey then stirred for about 8-10 minutes.

Let the mixture cool before emptying onto a cutting board covered with wax paper. Place another piece of wax paper of top and roll out to desire do thickness with a rolling pin. Remove paper on top and score with a sharp large blade knife.

Recover with wax paper. Place in the fridge for about 10 minutes then break apart and move to a glass sealable container to store or you can just eat them all!

These won't last long! Yum!
Hope you enjoy!

Sesame Honey Energy Bites

Dash of salt (optional)

Cook on stove top in stainless steel pan on medium to a light boil for about 8-10 minutes. Let cool but not completely and spread onto wax paper. Cover with another sheet of wax paper and roll out with a rolling pin to desired thickness. Score with a large bladed knife then recover with wax paper and put in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. They are now ready to break apart and enjoy!

Grain Free Dairy Free Brownies

I had a taste of some keto brownies this week that a friend was gifted for her birthday. There were so moist and delicious I decided to find a great recipe and give it a try! I couldn't find a recipe that I loved all the ingredients so I made my own. Most keto recipes are using stevia and in my experiences using stevia the recipes end up having a bitter aftertaste. I love coconut sugar and I'm not specifically on a keto diet but I am gluten free so this recipe worked perfect!

 

3 eggs

4 tbsp coconut oil

1/2 cup cocoa

1/2 cup coconut sugar

Pinch of pink salt

Bake 350 for about 20 minutes 

The icing was actually a chocolate mousse and was 1 can of full fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa and I blended it in the Vitamix then chilled till pudding consistency. You can ice the brownies as you serve or keep refrigerated if you ice the entire batch.

I hope you enjoy these as much as we did😀
