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.

Tips:

  • Serve with roasted peaches, plums or nectarines. Bake in the oven on 180℃ fan, drizzle with honey or light brown sugar, add a sprig of thyme or rosemary. Bake for 15 -20 minutes.
  • 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.

One of my lovely followers in Malaysia has been ba One of my lovely followers in Malaysia has been baking this ruisleipä (Finnish Rye Bread) and mentioned she wasn’t getting many of those lovely cracks on top — so I’ve tweaked the recipe slightly to help bring them out.

This is a nourishing, no-nonsense loaf: dark, dense, and full of goodness. I start by scalding the rye flour (a bit like tangzhong and a traditional technique in Finland and Sweden) which brings out its natural sweetness and gives the crumb a gentle softness. Slow-fermented and full of flavour — perfect with butter or a slice of cheese.

And just two days to go until my book BUNS: Sweet and Simple Bakes is out! 🥳 Updated recipe is in the link in my profile.

Easter prep didn’t quite go to plan this year, s Easter prep didn’t quite go to plan this year, so I’m posting this a little later than I’d hoped (better late than never) In Sweden, saffron isn’t just used at Christmas – it makes an appearance at Easter too! This simple saffron and cardamom cake is full of flavour and brings a touch of spring celebration with a gorgeous golden-yellow hue. I will share the recipe to my blog in the next few days. 
Wishing you a lovely Easter, however you’re spending it!
