Hi Margo,

Sorry for the confusion.

The sesame seeds are used as a coating for the entire bars (see the image above). So, they should not be included in step 5. Once the peanut butter and honey mixture is warm, runny, and fully mixed, then it’s time to add it to the fruit/seed mixture from before. That blend makes up the entire bar recipe, and is then sandwiched between a thin coating of sesame seeds.

Enjoy!

Hi John:

Thanks for posting the recipe – I can’t wait to make it for my Dad to help with his energy levels. I’m confused by parts of the directions however: Step 5 says mix fruits, seed and nuts together then step 10 says to puts the sesame seeds in bottom of the dish (so these aren’t included in step 5?). Step 12 says sprinkle top with remaining seeds – do you mean just the sesame seeds? Steps 6-8 talks about making a honey/peanut butter mix, then step 9 says “Add honey/peanut butter mixture” do you mean add it to the fruit and seed mixture from step 4?

Thanks in advance,

Margo

Me too! They were yummylicious – and didn’t easily fall apart, a very good quality for carrying in a backpack or pouch behind a bicycle seat.

Thanks for posting these, I’ll have to give them a try. I love the natural ingredients – think I’ll test agave – and they sound easy. I’m a big fan of real food for running fuel, and these are just that.
