Welcome to a super easy and tasty snack recipe that’s perfect for any time of the day! Today, we’re making Crunchy Nut & Seed Rounds. These little rounds are packed with almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and chia seeds, making them not only delicious but also really good for you. We’ll add a pinch of salt for flavor and bind everything together with some sweet maple syrup. These rounds are great for a quick snack, a healthy addition to your breakfast, or even as a topping for your salad. Let’s get started and make these crunchy treats!

Ingredients:

  • 50g almond flakes for a nutty crunch
  • 80g pumpkin seeds, adding a nice texture
  • 35g sesame seeds for a subtle nutty flavor
  • 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, for a nutritional boost
  • A pinch of salt to enhance the flavors
  • 2.5 tablespoons of maple syrup for natural sweetness

Let’s Make It:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the almond flakes, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and chia seeds. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and add depth to the flavors.
  3. Bind with Maple Syrup:
    • Pour the maple syrup over the seed and nut mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly coated. The maple syrup acts as a binder and adds a lovely, mild sweetness.
  4. Shape the Rounds:
    • Take spoonfuls of the mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each spoonful down to form small, round shapes. If you like, you can use a cookie cutter or a small cup to make them uniform in size.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn, as the seeds can toast quickly.
  6. Cool and Enjoy:
    • Let the nut and seed rounds cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will become crunchier as they cool.

Enjoy these Nutty Seed Crunch Rounds as a healthy snack throughout the day or pack them for an on-the-go treat. They’re a fantastic way to satisfy your snack cravings while providing a good dose of nutrients!
