Instructions

Making Coconut Seed Bars

Preheat the oven to 162˚C / 325˚F.
Line a 8 x 8 square baking dish with baking paper, making sure to have the sides overhanging as this will help removing the bars from the dish easier after baking.
In a small saucepan add the tahini and honey.
Heat over low-medium heat until warm for 2 minutes while whisking together to fully combine.
Remove from heat stir through the vanilla and salt.
In a large bowl, add the shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seed and hemp seeds and mix until combined evenly.
Pour tahini and honey mixture over the seed and coconut mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon. You will need to work quickly as the tahini and honey mixture thicken as it cools.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and press down firmly using a spatula or the back of a wooden spoon. You are looking for a smooth, compacted surface. Using a wet spatula helps to smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden. For crispy, crunchy bars, cook a further 5 to 10 minutes, though keep an eye on it as all ovens are different.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing.
Cut into 16 squares.

Storing Coconut Seed Bars

To keep them crunchy you need to keep the moisture away from them. Individually wrap the loosely in baking paper and placing them in an airtight container on the bench. Wrapping them too tightly can cause them to sweat and soften. Also, storing them in the fridge can cause them to soften. They should last for up to 10 days.
For longer storage, try freezing. Place the individually wrapped bars into a freezer-safe container or an airtight container and place in the freezer. Thaw the bars by letting them come to room temperature before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
