Quinoa Chia Seed Crisps

4 years ago
Kirstin Nussgruber

These crisps are so easy to make, and are filled with wholesome chia seeds, an endurance food used by Native Americans and a superior source of anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids. Did you know these seeds are actually related to the mint family? This surprised me too, a great question to use in your next trivia game!

Quinoa, a tiny grain also native to the Americas and pronounced “Keen-wah”, was a staple of the Incas, almost eradicated by Spanish conquerors, yet survived and has seen a revival in the last few years as a superior plant protein source (16%) as it contains all essential amino acids, usually only found in animal protein. Very easy to digest it is also a  good source of calcium, the B vitamins and Vitamin E. I love it as it cooks so quickly, and combines excellently with an assortment of vegetables, nuts, seeds and even dried goji berries to offer an array of options for a colorful salad. Here it lends a crunchy and nutty texture to this delicious sweet treat or snack.

Plus, these treats are loaded with cancer-fighting spices cinnamon and cloves. Super tasty!

Author: Eat Holistic LLC
Recipe type: Sweet Treat
Serves: 1 baking tray
Ingredients
  • 3 Tablespoons Virgin Coconut Oil
  • ½ cup Maple Syrup
  • ½ cup Quinoa (uncooked)
  • ⅓ cup walnuts, chopped fine
  • 2 Tablespoons Quick Cooking Oats
  • 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1 Tablespoons Coconut Palm Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon (ground)*
  • ⅓ Teaspoon Cloves (ground)*
  • ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • Substitute: 2 Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Melt coconut oil and maple syrup together in a small pot over very low heat, stirring until well combined.
  3. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl, add the liquid coconut oil and maple syrup mixture. Set aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and spread mixture evenly on it. Best to use a large spoon or spatula. The mix will spread a little while baking.
  5. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, being careful not to burn it. Check regularly, the thickness may vary so baking times may need to be adjusted.
  6. Crisp test: after cooling, the mix should be crisp, not still doughy soft. In that case, just bake again for another 5 minutes.
  7. Use a pizza cutter to cut into small squares and store in an airtight container.
  8. Inspired by “Süss und Gesund Weihnachten” by Stefanie Reeb
