Nuts and Seeds Biscuits

​One of the dietary changes I made since becoming a dietitian is I’m eating more ‘bird food’. Seeds are tiny, but the impacts on our body are massive.
 
Benefits of seeds
  • Good source of fibre:
  1. fibre has great anti-inflammatory effect
  2. fibre also helps bulk and soften the stools to maintain bowel health
  3. fibre could help lower your cholesterol level and slow carb digestion
  • Good fatty acids: flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds are good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which is another great anti-inflammatory component
  • Packed with vitamins and minerals (Vitamin E, iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium) to help our energy levels, boost our immune system and keep our bones strong
I was not a big fan of seeds at all, but since I started to try different ways of incorporating them into my food, it’s surprised me how yummy they can be.
​
Here is a Nuts & Seeds biscuit recipe to try. You can either eat them plain with your cheese or favourite dips, or brush with some maple syrup or honey on top to make them sweet.
 
Ingredients:
  • 240g nuts and seeds of personal choice (I use almonds, linseed/flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut shreds)
  • 1 egg white
  • 2tb maple syrup or honey (optional)
​
Method:
  1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl
  2. Add egg white and stir and combine well
  3. Shape into 8 patties on a lined baking tray
  4. Bake 20-25 mins at 150 degrees until lightly golden
  5. Brush maple syrup or honey on top if you want some sweet taste (optional) or enjoy the plain cracker with cheese or your favourite dips

Great for a snack and easy to take on the go!
