Still on my ‘what can I do with Chia seeds’ fad, I found this great recipe on margaretsdish.blogspot.com.es and adapted it to suit our tastes and quantities.

The first batch I made were a little dry but this recipe turned out great!

Easy to make, gluten free, dairy free and very tasty!

They went down a treat at Nat’s Reiki course! I’ve been giving them away all weekend!

Makes 20 buns

Ingredients:

• 4 cups oat flour (use certified gluten-free oats if necessary)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp coconut flour
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, hardened in the fridge
• 1/2 cup honey (or favorite liquid sweetener such as maple syrup)
• 2 eggs whole and 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tbsps lemon juice
• 2 Tbsps lemon zest

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  If making your own oat flour, add two heaping cups of organic rolled oats to the base of a food processor and process for 10-15 seconds, or until four-like consistency is reached.
2. Add baking powder, baking soda, coconut flour, and salt to the oat flour in a bowl and mix.  Add the chia seeds combine.
3. Take coconut oil out of the fridge and break apart into small chunks.  Add coconut oil pieces to the food processor with eggs, honey, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest.  Process until just combined.
4. Combine the dry mix with the wet mix to make a dough.  Roll into small 2-3 cm balls and press onto the baking sheet.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.   Cool on a wire rack.
