Description

This Sugar-Free Sesame Snaps recipe is a delightful and healthy twist on the classic treat, perfect for those seeking a crunchy, naturally sweet snack without added sugars. Made with sesame seeds and sweetened with sugar-free honey or maple syrup and brown sugar substitute, these snaps are easy to prepare and offer a delicious guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Sesame Seeds
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar-Free Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar Substitute
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients needed for the recipe. If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can skip using the sugar-free honey or maple syrup.
  2. Add Sweeteners: Heat a cooking pan on low heat and add the sugar-free honey or maple syrup along with the brown sugar substitute. Stir gently using a spatula to combine.
  3. Melt Sweeteners: Continue heating the mixture ensuring both sweeteners are fully melted and blended. Allow the mixture to boil slightly so that water content evaporates, resulting in a thicker and crunchier consistency. Add vanilla extract at this stage if desired.
  4. Add Sesame Seeds: Once sweeteners are melted, add the sesame seeds to the pan. Stir constantly to coat the seeds evenly with the sweetener mixture.
  5. Pour and Spread Mixture: Transfer the sesame seed mixture onto a lightly greased sheet of parchment paper. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Using a rolling pin and optionally another sheet of parchment paper on top, roll the mixture into the thinnest sheet possible for better snaps. Use wet hands and a silicone spatula to shape the corners if needed.
  6. Cut and Cool: While the mixture is still soft, cut it with a wet knife into desired shapes and sizes. It is easier to cut now rather than after hardening. Allow the pieces to cool completely and harden.
  7. Final Cutting and Storage: After full cooling, use scissors to cut the sesame bars into final shapes if preferred, leaving them on the parchment paper to aid storage. Peel off the paper just before enjoying the sesame snaps.

Notes

  • For a crunchier texture, omit the sugar-free honey or maple syrup and use only the brown sugar substitute.
  • Vanilla extract is optional but adds a nice aroma and flavor.
  • Use wet hands and a wet knife to prevent sticking while shaping and cutting the mixture.
  • Store the snaps on parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy packaging.
  • Make sure the sweeteners boil slightly to evaporate water for a better snap texture.
