If you are looking for a simple, wholesome snack rich in plant-based omega-3, these seed cookies will become a staple in your kitchen. They are made from only three ingredients, rich in nutrition and satisfying crispy inside – perfect for snacking or pairing with your favorite dip.
As a vegan person for over a decade, I always realize the necessary nutrients through food, and omega-3 fatty acids are one of them. Since I don’t eat fish, I rely on flax seeds, chia seeds and cannabis seeds to give me ALA, which is a plant-based Omega-3 form.
These cookies are a celebration of these three seeds. They are very easy to make, customizable and well stored – perfect for batch preparation.
raw material
(Make a plate of cookies)
– 1 cup grated flax seeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds (I’ve used it This mix)
-1/4 cup of all Chia seeds
-1/4 cup cannabis seeds (Add texture and crunch)
-3/4 cup water
Optional add-ons for extra flavor:
– Pinch sea salt or garlic powder
– Dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary)
– Smoked paprika or cumin
– Nutritious yeast, can taste vulgar
– Sesame, pumpkin or sunflower seeds add texture
method
1. Mix ground linen, hemp and chia seeds in a mixing bowl. Add the entire CHIA and shell seeds.
2. Pour 3/4 cup water and mix thoroughly. Allow the mixture to stand for 10-15 minutes so that CHIA and flax can absorb the liquid and form a gel-like consistency.
3. Scoop the mixture onto a piece of baking paper. Place another piece on top and use the scroll pin to thin it into solidity.
4. Peel off the top paper and use a knife or pizza to cut the desired cookie shape – square, rectangle, triangle, you can name it.
5. Carefully transfer the cut shape to the lined baking tray and bake at 200°C for 30 minutes and flip halfway.
6. Let them cool on the rack for maximum crispness.
