The chia seed cookies are rustic treats ideal for a healthy breakfast or snack.

What makes them quick to make is that you won’t even need molds to shape them.

Once the dough is ready, it will be your hands that will turn the balls of dough into cookies, imperfect but crumbly and delicious.

  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All Seasons

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2.5 tbsp raw cane sugar (you can add up to 1/3 cup)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 tsp liqueur (of your choice for desserts)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup remilled durum wheat semolina flour (whole grain)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Tools

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Baking Mat silicone or parchment paper
  • 1 Baking Tray
  • 1 Teaspoon

Steps

  • In a bowl, beat the egg with the sugar, add the oil, the liqueur until you get a homogeneous mixture.

    As for the sugar, I always keep it very low, I prefer to balance my treats so that everyone, both adults and children, can enjoy them, but you can add to my quantities.

    Add a pinch of salt and the dry ingredients to the liquid ones, mixing with a fork.

    If you find the dough too crumbly, add a little water or milk (10/15g) no more, until you get a soft but workable dough.

  • Form small balls, slightly flatten them and place them on a baking tray lined with a silicone mat (which I recommend) or parchment paper.

    Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 12-15 minutes.

    Let them cool: they will be soft when hot, but will become crumblier as they cool.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
