Make delicious and healthy Chocolate Chia Seed Cookies with just 4 simple ingredients!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"4<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve got a cookie fiend family like me then this is a recipe for you! My brood can go through a large packet of cookies in a weekend if I let them so lately I’ve been experimenting with making my own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packed full of protein and fibre, these cookies are gluten free and low in sugar, making them a super healthy alternative to the the packaged variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Now we all know that chia seeds<\/a> are an incredible superfood loaded with nutrients and anti-oxidants but so many people I speak to say that they struggle to eat them in puddings or smoothies when they soften and turn jelly like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can understand how this can be a little off-putting so I decided to come up with a recipe using chia seeds but where they stay nice and crunchy instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fantastic thing about this recipe is that you can\u2019t even taste the chia seeds and unless you see them you wouldn\u2019t even know they were there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional Amendments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have particularly picky eaters then you can always reduce the amount of chia seeds you add to the cookies so that they can\u2019t be seen and slowly increase that amount each time you make them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have put the maple syrup as optional in the recipe as it really will depend on your own tastes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also find that different brands of peanut butter <\/a>can be sweeter than others so that might make a difference too. The recipe will also work just as well with other nut butters such as almond butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u00a0try this recipe please do let me know what you think. Or tag me in a picture on\u00a0Facebook<\/a><\/span>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a><\/span> or Instagram<\/a><\/span>. I\u2019d love to see your\u00a0pictures!<\/p>\n\n\n
