Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet Lined with parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spread oats, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds on a baking sheet. Toast at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until aromatic.
  2. Mix chia seeds with water and let sit for 5 minutes to form a gel.
Baking
  1. Mix toasted dry ingredients with wet ingredients until a thick, chunky dough forms.
  2. Scoop dough onto parchment, flatten slightly, and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden-brown and crisp.

Notes

Toasted oats are the secret to the best flavor. Ensure you let the cookies cool fully so they set properly.
