Ingredients
- 13.6 g Hulled sesame seeds, toasted
- 15.3 g Whey protein isolate powder (unflavored)
- 8.5 tsp (10g) Wild thyme honey
- 17.0 g Oat bran (to bind)
Method
- 01In a dry, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, shaking the pan constantly until they turn a pale gold and release a nutty, fragrant aroma, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
- 02In a small mixing bowl, combine the toasted seeds with the whey protein powder and oat bran. Drizzle the honey over the mixture and fold everything together using a rubber spatula until you have a thick, cohesive paste.
- 03Transfer the mixture to a piece of parchment paper and press it firmly into a small, uniform rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Let it set at room temperature for 10 minutes to firm up.
- 04Once set, slice into two bite-sized bars. Serve immediately, perhaps with a tiny grating of fresh orange zest over the top to capture the classic Cycladic profile.
