Sesame Seed Biscuits

Today, I’m excited to share with you a delightful recipe for Sesame Seed Biscuits. These chewy, nutty, and gluten-free biscuits are made with just three simple ingredients, making them an easy and quick treat to whip up any time.

The hero of this recipe is the humble sesame seed. Did you know that sesame seeds are packed with essential nutrients? These tiny seeds are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, and dietary fiber, which support heart health, improve digestion, and keep you feeling full longer. They also contain important minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium, which are crucial for bone health and overall well-being. Incorporating sesame seeds into your diet is a simple and tasty way to boost your nutrition.

Now, let’s get baking! These biscuits are incredibly easy to prepare and have a delightful texture that is chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
