  • According to legend, Queen Esther enjoyed a diet rich in nuts and seeds, to keep kosher whilst in the Persian Palace.
  • These incredibly easy biscuits are in keeping with that tradition, plus they happen to be gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free!  You can make the biscuits whatever size you want but do keep them uniform to ensure the same cooking time.
  • Preparation Time: 10 minutes
  • Cooking Time:15 minutes
  • Makes Approximately 35

Ingredients:

  • 100g flaked almonds
  • 160g pumpkin seeds
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 4 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  2. Mix the nuts, seeds and salt in a bowl. Then mix in the maple syrup.
  3. Line an oven tray with baking parchment. Spoon equal sized dollops of mixture onto the tray until all the mixture is used up. No need to leave a large space between each biscuit as they do not spread like regular biscuits!
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. Allow to cool completely to firm up (they may break apart if you attempt to move them whilst still warm).
