What makes these bars so unique is the addition of the mesquite flour.
Mesquite flour, from the bean of the mesquite plant, has a very distinctive sweet and spiced caramel flavor.

We also threw in tahini. We adore our tahini.

Where do you get your mesquite powder from?
the brand we used to get was Navitas Naturals, another brand is SunFoods or Zócalo Peru mesquite – both can get off Amazon
