I am a self proclaimed texture queen. I actually like when foods are seemingly (to others) very strange in texture. For example...For a yummy, super quick energy boost I mix raw oats, cinnamon and almond milk until it forms a paste. Most would find that weird but i love the taste and texture. Recently I was asked to make and create gluten free, vegan cookies that contain chia seeds and I immediately knew that the cookies I create will not be for the faint at heart. To me and my palate they are fabulous! So good in fact that I ended up eating most of them as soon as they got out of the oven. Yummy, super healthy and full of super proteins and power foods! The sweetness comes 100% from the cinnamon.
Gluten free vegan chia super treats:
1/2 Cup flaxseed
3 T cinnamon
2 T chia seeds
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 of a very ripe banana (mashed)
3 T natural peanut butter (I microwaved mine to make it easier to mix)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients well. Shape dough into small balls 1/2 Tablespoon in size. Using your hand flatten the ball to resemble a cookie and lay gently on a baking sheet. Bake 8-10 min or until set in the center. Enjoy warm or cold! These little jewels can be taken anywhere and eaten anytime for good, clean energy! Enjoy bikini style and let me know what you think!
