We were looking for an Indian sweet treat we could infuse with some superfood goodness while eliminating the peanuts (for our nut-sensitive friends). This Sweet Sesame Superfood Snack is a twist on the Indian Tilgul recipe for sweet sesame-peanut balls.
Our recipe experiment was turning out to be a fail for us because we didn't have the jaggery the traditional recipe called for. The coconut sugar wasn't melting. We added a bit of water but then the mixture wasn't holding together. In came the brown rice syrup and tahini to save the day. They were a pan full of chewy goodness, but we wanted some crunch. Ten minutes in the oven perfected the recipe.
Bursting with sesame, flax, chia, cardamom, and coconut, these vegan Indian-fusion "granola bars" are crunchy, sweet, and oh-so-good for you. They're a plant-based dessert you can feel good about eating!
