Practice it with us: Make a batch of these seed-and-nut-packed energy bars. Reach for one any time snack cravings strike. Repeat as often as necessary.

Ingredients

Makes about 16 Servings

Unsalted butter (for pan)

cups white and/or black sesame seeds

¾

cup unsweetened shredded coconut

¼

cup unsalted, roasted peanuts

¼

teaspoon kosher salt

¼

cup honey

2

tablespoons creamy peanut butter

¼

teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°. Butter an 8x8" glass baking dish; line with parchment paper, leaving a generous overhang on all sides. Mix sesame seeds, coconut, peanuts, and salt in a large bowl. Mix honey, peanut butter, and vanilla in a small bowl. Add to sesame seed mixture and mix well.

    Step 2

    Scrape mixture into prepared baking dish; press firmly into an even layer. Bake until golden brown around the edges, 20–25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool until firm, 30–40 minutes. Lift out of baking dish (if it starts to crumble, let cool longer) and cut into 16 bars. Let cool completely.

    Step 3

    Do Ahead: Bars can be made 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
