Coconut-Chia Oat Crisps
Ingredients
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
1 cup regular rolled oats
-
½ cup oat bran
-
½ cup flaked or shredded coconut*
-
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
-
¼ cup whole wheat flour
-
3 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
-
2 tablespoon water
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed meal
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 15×10-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a food processor combine oats, oat bran, coconut, brown sugar, and flour. Process until finely ground. Add nut butter, water, honey, baking soda, and salt. Process until combined. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in chia seeds. (Mixture will be crumbly.)
-
Press oat mixture firmly into prepared pan. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan on a wire rack. (Mixture crisps as it cools.)
-
Release oat mixture from pan. Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
*
To increase coconut flavor, add 1/8 teaspoon coconut extract.
Tips
Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. Or opt for flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed), which gives the crisps a nuttier flavor and more crumbly texture.
