Twisted Oat and Buckwheat Sticks with Black Sesame are the perfect way to enjoy a crispy and flavorful treat using simple ingredients. This recipe came together through our own experiments in the kitchen, using flours we already had and a few pantry staples. The result is a snack that’s crunchy, lightly sweet, and rich in texture. The black sesame seeds bring both flavor and character, while the twist shape adds a bit of fun to the presentation. These sticks are perfect for anyone looking for something different – a balance between homemade comfort and interesting texture. We didn’t want something soft or overly sweet. We aimed for something with structure, a bit of crunch, and a subtle sweetness that pairs well with the nutty background from the flours. That’s how these Twisted Oat and Buckwheat Sticks with Black Sesame were born.
Why Choose Twisted Oat and Buckwheat Sticks with Black Sesame
We created this recipe because we love snacks that are both simple and satisfying. These twisted sticks don’t try to be flashy. They rely on a few good ingredients that work well together. The oat flour gives them a mild and familiar base, while the buckwheat flour adds a rustic and earthy note. Flaxseed flour helps bind the dough and gives the texture more depth. Olive oil brings smoothness, and just a bit of brown sugar adds the perfect hint of sweetness. We included black sesame not just for color but also for a subtle nutty crunch in every bite. These sticks are twisted by hand, baked until crisp, and easy to enjoy on their own. The whole idea was to keep the preparation straightforward and the result enjoyable. That’s why we think these twisted oat and buckwheat sticks deserve a place in your kitchen.
Ingredients for Twisted Oat and Buckwheat Sticks with Black Sesame
- 100 g oat flour
- 100 g buckwheat flour
- 100 g flaxseed flour
- 70 g black sesame seeds
- A pinch of salt
- 80 ml olive oil
- 150 ml milk
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
How to Prepare Twisted Oat and Buckwheat Sticks with Black Sesame
Start by preheating your oven to 190 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, combine the oat, buckwheat, and flaxseed flours. Stir in the salt, black sesame seeds, and brown sugar. Add the olive oil and milk, and mix until a firm dough forms. Let the dough rest for a few minutes. Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper until thin, then cut it into long strips. Twist each strip gently by hand and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and crisp. Let them cool on the tray before serving. These sticks can be stored in an airtight container and enjoyed for several days. They stay crisp and retain their flavor well.
Serving Suggestions
These twisted sticks are best served as a crunchy snack. You can enjoy them on their own or paired with a light dip of your choice. Try them with a soft spread or simply serve them as part of a snack platter. Their crisp texture makes them a satisfying addition to any casual table. They also make a great gift when packed in a simple paper bag or glass jar. Because they aren’t overly sweet, they work well alongside other savory items too. Don’t overload them with additions. The flavor is best appreciated just as it is – with that twist of texture and mild nuttiness that makes every bite worth it.
