Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 cup natural nut butter of your choice (I like cashew best)
- 1 cup light oil, like canola or corn
- 16 slices of whole grain vegan bread
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 250 Fareinheit.
Slice the vegan bread into strips about 1″ wide and arrange on
cookie sheets, with plenty of room between them. Place
these in the oven and dry the vegan bread out for about 15
minutes, turning halfway, so that the strips are very hard.
While these are drying out, combine the nut butter and oil
in a large, heavy skillet with deep sides. Mix over medium-
low heat until well combined and it looks kind of runny.
When the vegan bread is ready, remove it from the oven and grind
up 6 strips in your blender or food processor until they
are very fine crumbs, almost like powder. Mix in the sesame
seeds with a spoon until well-combined, and pour out on to
a large plate.
Dip and coat the remaining strips of vegan bread a few at a time
in the nut/oil mixture, making sure they are thoroughly
covered in it. Let excess nut/oil mixture run off of them
before dipping and rolling the “sticks” in the crumbs and
sesame seeds. Set them to dry and cool on a cookie sheet
for about an hour, then: Munch, munch, munch!
Everyone just loves these, so I serve them at every
gathering. My toddler son especially likes them, so they
are kid-tested.
