What I like about these energy bars:
- only 3 ingredients
- you usually have sesame seeds in your pantry if you occasionally cook Asian dishes
- sesame is a bit cheaper than other kinds of seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, chia etc.): I calculated that one serving of these bars costs less than 0.50 euro
- these bars are lower in sugar compared to traditional sesame bars made with honey or date syrup: 4 g per bar instead of up to 20 g in some recipes
- they’re a source of fiber: 3 g per serving
Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 2 dried figs
- 1 egg white
Dry roast the sesame seeds until lightly brown to enhance their flavor (you can skip this part if you prefer non-roasted raw seeds).
Put sesame seeds and figs in a food processor. The whole idea is to grind the seeds very coarse but not super fine.
Add egg white and mix. Put in small molds.
Bake 10 minutes at 200 degrees celsius. After 10 min, flip the bars on the other side and bake for another 10 min.

A bit high in fat, but all in all a great little snack!

Thank you so much for the recipe! This is so much better than the sore-bought sesame bars. I just have one question? You say that one serving is about 110 calories, but how many servings are there in the recipe?
Thank you!
Hi Monica! This recipe makes 2 servings. To get an idea of the size of the servings: look a the picture with the purple silicon molds. These 2 bars are the 2 servings I mean!
