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.

I’ve been a little quiet on here lately. I’ve I’ve been a little quiet on here lately. I’ve been spending more time with family, baking celebration cakes, and getting everything ready for our Festive Workshop—interspersed with some stunning early-morning walks by the river. Beautiful wreaths and table arrangements were created, and I hope everyone went home with plenty of inspiration for their Christmas entertaining (see stories).

It’s already the second Sunday of Advent, so it’s high time for me to turn my attention to decorating my home and preparing a few festive treats…

Last week was a busy one — I’ve been making th Last week was a busy one — I’ve been making the most of the wild mushrooms while they’re still around.

1. Buttery sautéed chanterelles with poached egg and sourdough crumbs
2. A blackberry and bay celebration cake — I adore these autumn flavours
3. Incredible seasonal colours
4. A coconut and raspberry cake
5. And a warming wild mushroom soup

I finished the week on such a happy note — a lovely Friday morning teaching how to make sourdough. 

How did your week go?
