Seeded Honey Thins

21st August 2020 by Louise
Seeded Honey Snaps
Seeded Honey Thins

I don’t know about you, but there are moments when I crave a delightful indulgence during my afternoon tea break. Well, these honey-seeded snaps are the ideal choice!

These honey-seeded thins offer a perfect balance of sweetness, crunchiness, and nuttiness, all while packing a nutritional punch. You’ll find yourself devouring an entire batch; they are that irresistible. Enjoy them on their own, or pair them with thick and creamy Greek-style yogurt and luscious fruits like roasted peaches.

If this recipe appeals to you, you might also be interested in exploring Swedish Gluten-Free Seeded Crispbread.

Seeded Honey Thins

approximately 35 Thins
Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Course: Fika/Snack

Ingredients

  • 150 g sesame seeds
  • 40 g pumpkin seeds
  • 30 g sunflower seeds
  • 100 g honey
  • 1 tbls sunflower oil
  • 1 good pinch Malden salt
  • ½ lemon, zest only

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C fan.
  • Heat a shallow pan to medium, add the sesame seeds. Heat and stir until golden, add the pumpkin and sunflower seeds, stir and remove from the heat. Now add the honey, salt, zest and oil, stir. Spread the mixture with a spatular or palette knife on a parchment lined baking tray as best as you can and as thinly as possible.
  • Bake 5-10 mins, or until golden. Remove from the oven. As the thins cool, they begin to harden, cut into even size pieces if that’s what you like or cut into shards.
  • Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks. They will soften and become more chewy over time but are still good to eat.

  • Also delicious with macerated strawberries and raspberries.
  • Add them to a cheese board, the hint of sweetness works so well with salty cheese.
  • For added interest and taste combine black and white sesame seeds.
  • Substitute with chia seeds as an alternative flavour.

Cinnamon bun day is the perfect excuse to indulge Cinnamon bun day is the perfect excuse to indulge in all things soft, sticky, and spiced. BUNS, Sweet and Simple is packed with tempting recipes – from the nutty, caramel twisted Tosca bun to the sweet and fruity blueberry sugar Bun – there’s a bun for everyone.

People often ask me which is my favourite bun from my book. Truth is, I can’t choose just one – there are two I always come back to: the traditional fragrant, warming cardamom bun, and the oh so indulgent double espresso bun, rich, bold, and totally irresistible.

A basket of quince arrived in my kitchen this week A basket of quince arrived in my kitchen this week - gnarled, golden, and wonderfully aromatic. I’ve poached them slowly in the oven with lemon, cinnamon, and a touch of star anise. It’s one of those small autumn rituals that fills the house with comfort.

On another note, tomorrow marks Cinnamon Bun Day—a moment when Sweden, and anyone with a soft spot for spiced, buttery swirls, gathers around the ritual of fika. It’s a gentle pause, a cup of something warm in hand, and the comfort of a bun that smells of cinnamon and sugar. A small celebration of sweetness and connection. So look out for my post…

SWEET POTATO & LENTIL SOUP

I’ve always said I’m not terribly fond of sweet potatoes, yet I keep giving them another go, knowing how good they are for you. I think I’ve finally cracked it with this hearty soup – gently spiced, wonderfully rich, full of depth, and just right for a satisfying lunch.

📝
½ large sweet potato, peeled
1 medium carrot, peeled & cut into batons
1 onion, peeled & cut into eighths
1 romano pepper, deseeded & chopped
1.5 tsp ground cumin
1.5 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
virgin rapeseed oil (for sautéing)
2cm piece fresh ginger, peeled & chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled
50g split red lentils, rinsed
120g coconut milk
1 can quality tomatoes
4–5 cherry tomatoes, halved
toasted desiccated coconut & fresh coriander to serve 

1. Heat a splash of oil in a large pan. Add onion, carrot, pepper & sweet potato. Sauté until starting to soften.
2. Stir in garlic, ginger & spices. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add lentils, canned tomatoes, 2 cans of water & the coconut milk. Simmer until the veg are soft.
4. Scoop out a ladle of chunky veg and set aside. Blitz the rest until smooth.
5. Return the reserved veg to the pan, stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, and heat through.
6. Serve topped with toasted desiccated coconut & fresh coriander

Figs are at their very best right now – I’ll b Figs are at their very best right now – I’ll be sharing the full recipe this week on my blog for my Fig, Blue Cheese & Walnut Filo Tart. I love making this with fresh figs; their natural sweetness pairs perfectly with the tang of blue cheese and the crunch of filo and walnuts. A drizzle of honey straight from the oven brings it all together – autumn on a plate.
