Seed & Nut Clusters

Hooked on plants image 1

These easy and chewy vegan chickpea cookies with coconut clusters are a new go-to for Olympian Julia Murray‘s lunchbox!

In Julia’s words: “The tapioca flour in these vegan cookies gives them that chewy texture, and the chickpea flour gives you the extra plant protein so you’ll feel like a health nut without having to taste the health (if you know what I mean)! Perfect combo.”

Cookies with Benefits:

  • “Chickpea Flour is a great option if you’re sensitive to gluten, plus it’s packed with plant protein with a very mild flavour. It’s anti-inflammatory, and super nutrient-dense, yet lower in calories (compared to wheat flour).
  • Sweet Coconut Seed + Nut clusters are packed with omegas from coconut + flax seeds, iron from pumpkin seeds, and vitamin E from sunflower seeds. They’ve got papaya and cranberries in there for a boost of phytonutrients and digestive enzymes, plus a ton of fibre from the brown rice puffs!
  • Oats are packed with magnesium, fibre and antioxidants. They’ll help balance your blood sugar, lower cholesterol and relieve constipation:)”

Method

  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until combined
  5. Then stir in the coconut clusters (save some for topping the cookies with)

  7. Press the cookie down slightly and sprinkle with left over cluster bits.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes (watch they don’t burn, but if you want a crispier base go for 12 minutes)
  9. Store in that cookie jar!
