👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Nuts
Pulse almonds and walnuts in a food processor until coarse (not powdery). You want texture.
Transfer to a mixing bowl.
2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients
Add sunflower seeds, chia, flaxseeds, coconut, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt. Stir to combine.
3️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients
Add egg, nut butter, and vanilla. Mix until everything sticks together.
If mixture feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon water.
4️⃣ Shape the Biscuits
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and flatten slightly with your fingers.
5️⃣ Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden.
Let cool completely — they firm up as they cool.
💡 Texture Tip
For extra crunch:
-
Toast the nuts lightly before mixing.
-
Bake an extra 2–3 minutes for crispier biscuits.
