Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375F / 190C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Make a 'chia egg' by combing the chia and water in a bowl and stirring well. Leave for at least 5 minutes, giving it a stir about halfway through. The mixture should be quite 'gooey' and mostly hold together.

Step 3

Add all your 'dry' ingredients to a bowl - the nuts and seeds, oats, flour, cinnamon and salt.

Step 4

Add all your 'wet' ingredients to a bowl and stir well. Then pour in your dry ingredients and mix very thoroughly until all combined. If it looks too dry, add a touch of maple syrup.

Step 5

Either use a cookie scoop or use your hands to form a cookie shape. If doing by hand roll the 'dough' in your hands to form a ball and then once on the baking tray press down slightly with the back of your hand so they form a cookie shape. These don't expand so form into the shape you like.

Step 6

Bake for about 12-14 minutes. Keep an eye on them after ten minutes to check they aren't about to burn!

Step 7

Transfer to a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes and then enjoy!
