Chia Seed Cookies Ingredients
So, if you are craving sweets, roll up your sleeves and go gather the ingredients for the chia seed cookie recipe! Here’s what you’ll need:
Chia Seeds. As its name suggests, this is the main ingredient for the healthy cookies. These tiny, nutrient-dense seeds are an excellent source of fiber, protein as well as omega-3 fatty acids. They are also rich in various vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
Almond Butter. Made from finely ground almonds and rich in healthy fats, protein as well as vitamins, this is a great tasty addition to our cookies!. It will give your chia seed cookies a nutty and slightly sweet satisfying flavor. You can also use peanut or another nut or even seed butter, if you can’t have almonds.
Ground Oats. Use either quick or rolled oats – you will need to grind them using a blender or a nut grinder. The oats will add fiber, minerals, and protein to your healthy snack.
Maple Syrup. To give sweetness to your cookies, use maple syrup. It is a natural sweetener with a distinct, rich flavor with hints of caramel, and a healthier alternative to processed sugars.
Dark Chocolate. to add an intense, rich chocolatey flavor to your chia cookies.
How To Make The Chia Seed Cookies
Firstly, add all ingredients except for the water, salt and dark chocolate to a bowl, then mix them.
Add some water and a pinch of salt and mix again well until you get a sticky dough. Start preheating the oven to 180C/350F and let the cookie dough rest in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes.
Next, chop your favorite dark chocolate and add it to the chilled dough. Alternatively, you can use dark chocolate chips. Make sure to mix well after adding them.
Once the dough is ready, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, take a tablespoon full of mixture and place it onto the baking sheet. Flatten to shape the cookie with your wet hand. Have in mind that the chia seed cookies won’t change their shape while they’re baking. Continue to scoop the mixture until you run out, leaving space between the cookies.
Bake the chia cookies at 180C/350F for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Finally, let them cool off and enjoy this healthy snack!
How To Store
If you baked more chia cookies than you could eat, then you can easily store them in airtight containers. Place them in the fridge and they will be fine to eat for as long as a few days.
