Sesame Honey Keto Bars
A dense, nutty Middle Eastern-inspired bar built on tahini and almond flour instead of flour and sugar, sweetened mainly with allulose and finished with a whisper of honey and toasted sesame for authentic halva-adjacent flavour, engineered to hold a strict keto macro profile.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a 10x10cm square tin with parchment, leaving an overhang to lift the bars out later.
2
In a bowl, whisk the tahini, melted butter and allulose together until smooth and glossy.
3
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4
Fold in the almond flour, 10g toasted sesame seeds and salt, mixing just until a thick, even batter forms.
5
Spread the batter into the lined tin in an even layer, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
6
Bake for 16-18 minutes until the edges are golden and the centre is just set but still slightly soft.
7
Cool the tin completely on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes - the bars firm up considerably as they cool.
8
Once cool, drizzle the honey over the top and scatter with the remaining 4g toasted sesame seeds.
9
Lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into 2 squares to serve.
