Ingredients
- =
- 1 cup tahini (sesame butter)
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup maple syrup (depending on your sweet tooth)
- 1 cup raw oat bran
- 1/2 cup raw wheat germ
- 1 cup raw sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
- =
Directions
In a bowl beat together the tahini and maple syrup with your electric mixer (or a wooden spoon, if you've got Xena arms). Begin beating in the oat bran, wheat germ and raw sesame seeds until it takes on a very stiff-dough-like consistency. You want to be able to roll it into little golf balls with your hands without it sticking to your fingers. Keep adding more oat bran and wheat germ until it seems just right (amounts really depend on how liquidy your tahini is).
Roll the dough in the palms of your hands to make slightly-smaller-than-golf-ball sized spheres, and then roll them until completely coated in toasted sesame seeds. They are ready to eat at this point. Store in your refrigerator in an airtight container.
