    1/4 cup Organic Fine Shredded Coconut

How to cut bars to reduce crumbling: Press the tip of a sharp knife into the centre of the sesame slab, then press your knife down so that the edges are cut last. Cutting from the middle outwards will significantly reduce any crumbling edges.

Directions

Preheat oven 180°C/350°F. Grease and line a 20 cm x 13 cm loaf tin with parchment, leaving enough overhang for easy removal later.

Whisk together sesame seeds, coconut, granulated sweetener & salt until well combined. Melt together butter, tahini, maple syrup, molasses & vanilla, stirring in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour butter mixture over sesame seeds, add the egg white, and stir together until sticky and well combined. 

Spread mixture out into prepared tin, pressing it down with the back of a teaspoon. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 150°C/300°F and cook for a further 10-12 minutes. Remove from the tin immediately by lifting the bar out with the parchment, then slice into 12 bars while hot. Allow bars to cool to room temperature, before transferring to the fridge to further firm up. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container.
