These six-fixing Almond Bars with Chia Seeds may have an aftertaste like your customary chocolate chip treats, however they’re stuffed with more solid fats and cell reinforcements.
Chia seeds are wholesome powerhouses loaded with fiber and a sound omega-3 to omega-6 unsaturated fats proportion. These seeds are the mystery fixing to keeping the bars eggless! Rather than utilizing eggs, the formula utilizes a “chia egg.” Don’t stress, this part is super basic.
To make the chia egg, consolidate chia seeds with water and let them sit for 5-10 minutes. The chia seeds will douse up the water and start to look like a gel substance. It’s an awesome substitute in case you’re intolerant to eggs or basically need to switch up your eating regimen.
The formula contains ground chia seeds for thickening.
To begin, consolidate all fixings, discarding the “chia egg.” After that, mix in the chia egg into the fixings. Put the batter in a pan, bake it for 20 minutes, and let it cool down for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, make the chocolate sprinkle by softening coconut oil and chocolate. Shower that blend over the bars. Cut into 6 bars (or 12 smaller than normal bars) and eat up instantly while warm.
