PUMPKIN SEEDS AND MATCHA COOKIES
Matcha is a superfood I love for its benefits and its flavor ! Pumpkin seeds are a great protein addition to your diet. Those delicious cookies are again another alternative to have healthy bites at home !!
Servings 14 cookies
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ¼ cups spelt flour (100gr)
- ½ cup + 1 tbsp almond meal (50gr)
- 4 tbsp maple syrup (or date syrup)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 25 gr ground pumpkin seeds - (using a coffee grinder or a small blender, mix pumpkin seeds)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 3 tbsp plant-based milk of your choice - (I love to use cashew or almond milk)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 160C (fan).
- Using a small mixer, grind your pumpkin seeds into flour.
- In a large bowl, mix well all ingredients together using a spatula. Then on a chopping board, form a long roll with the mixture using your hands.
- Wrap the roll into cling film (or waxing paper) and keep the dough in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Take the roll out of the fridge and unwrap it.
- Take a sharp knife and cut down slices approx. 1 cm thick.
- Place the slices on a lined baking sheet and form a nice cookie with your hands. Eventually, use the bottom of a glass to flatten nicely each cookie.
- Place it in the oven and bake it for about 13 min. Stay near and check them out regularly until they are getting a little brown/golden.
- Take them out and let them cool down.
- Decorate the cookies as you like! I decorate them with melted dark chocolate and roasted pumpkins, it's a hit !
