Yield: 5 snacks
Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup seeds - any that you like
sea salt
4 Tbsp almond flour
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 green apple
1 Tbsp chocolate chips
1 Tbsp nut butter
1 tsp unsweetened desiccated coconut
1 Tbsp chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
1 cup puffed amaranth
1 Tbsp raisins
1/2 cup berries
1 cup milk
1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
1.5 cups canned chickpeas - or homecooked
1/2 Tbsp avocado oil
1 Tbsp cajun seasoning
Instructions:
Toasted Seeds: Preheat a large pan over medium heat and once hot add seeds and sea salt to the dry pan and stir the seeds until golden and fragrant. Serve in a bowl and enjoy.
Almond Cookie: Add almond flour and maple syrup (4/1 ratio) in a bowl and mix until you reach a soft playdough-like consistency (see video). Store air-tight in the freezer for 10-15 mins or fridge for 30 mins. Place in between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out or press into a large cookie cutter to form a round cookie and bake in 250F preheated oven for 20-25 minutes depending on thickness. Place on a wire rack to cook. The cookie will be very soft when you take it out of the oven and harden (like marzipan), it will harden on the outside and stay chewy on the inside while cooling down.
Apple Nachos: Add chocolate chips into a heat-proof container, add nut butter to a heat-proof container and then microwave or place in a water bath to melt. In the meantime, finely slice the green apple and arrange on a plate. Drizzle the melted nut butter and chocolate on top, sprinkle with coconut and extra chocolate chips.
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas: Drain and rinse cooked chickpeas, then place on an absorbent kitchen towel and tap and rub until chickpeas are dry. Remove the skins of the chickpeas if desired. The drier the chickpeas, the crispier they will be. Add dry cooked chickpeas to a baking sheet, drizzel with avocado oil, sprinkle with cajun seasoning. Use your hands to distribute the oil and seasoning, then give the baking sheet a shake to ensure the chickpeas are well spread out (the further spread out the crispier) and place in the 400F preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
