Chia and Flax Breakfast Rolls

Looking for a tasty homemade breakfast? These Chia-Flax rolls are perfect for breakfast or brunch. They are filled with healthy fibers and the seeds add an additional serving of healthy fats and protein, that keeps you full all morning. You can prepare the dough the night before, and simply pop them in the morning once you wake up. They are also perfect for sandwiches, or simply a quick bite.

However, sometimes if I dont use the dough for rolls, I like to use that same dough recipe for a healthier version of cinnamon rolls. Simply roll the dough out and add the cinnamon roll filling (brown sugar, butter, cardamum and cinnamon.

Serving suggestions:

• Roll with Almond Butter, banana and chia seeds
• Roll with olive oil
• Roll with prosciutto, mozzarella and cherry tomatoes

 

CHIA FLAX ROLL Recipe:

• 2.5 dl water
• 2.5 dl. almond milk (optional)
• 25g yeast
• 5 dl whole wheat flour
• 3 dl dark rye flour
• 1 tsp. salt 

Directions:

1. Combine water, yeast, milk and salt
2. Add flour
3. Mix well and kneed the dough thoroughly
4. Let the dough rest for 1-2 hours
5. Shape the dough into rolls

Oatmeal Raisin “Dumpster” Cookies – Guilt free

I feel kinda bad for oatmeal raisin cookies… they are kind of like the kid who gets picked last for dodgeball. I always see people swerving to avoid oatmeal cookies at all costs, but come on, they are not that bad… Yes of course we can all agree that a chewy chocolate chip cookie is way more exciting than some of its competitive brothers, but I want you to give these a chance.

I was inspired by Christina Tosi, who is the founder of the Momofuko Milk bar, and famous for her various cookies. One of her cookies is called: “The Compost Cookie” and is especially popular for its various add ins, and delicious taste. The Compost Cookie however, is still a bit on the unhealthy side, so I decided that I would create my own, but just a tad healthier.

I was inspired by the original oatmeal cookie, which contains…you guessed it oatmeal and raisins, but I thought it would be cool if I added in almonds, cranberries and dark chocolate for a richer taste.

I also wanted them to be wheat free, (white) sugar free and dairy free. They still tasted pretty good in my opinion.

 

The batter is simply oats, eggs, almond milk, olive oil, banana

 

The “dumpster” part of the cookie. Raisins, cranberries, 85% chocolate and almonds

 

Mix it all up!

 

Place cookies on sheet, and give them a helping hand with a sweet press to allow them to look like cookies and not balls of dough 🙂
