I like to think of myself as a generous person. Especially when it comes to sharing food. I express so much through baking and cooking for others. It’s not self-less though, as I take so much pleasure in seeing them enjoy what I have made.
However, there are times when I’m not so keen on sharing, like with this recipe. The recipe only makes 8-10 mini muffins depending on your pan. And having just 1 is certainly not enough! They are grain-free, naturally sweetened, with good fats and protein from the nuts, chia seeds and egg. They are sweet enough for desert, but also healthy enough for an on the go breakfast.
Now before you start worrying about the high fat content and calories in buttery and delicious macadamia nuts, keep in mind that the type of fat in macadamias is monounsaturated fats which promote weight loss. Macadamia nuts are also rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber and has many other health benefits.
The chia jam is so simple to make and should always be in your fridge to use like you would use any other jam. Use the jam on your morning oatmeal, or almond butter toast, or even in these oatmeal cookies. Chia seeds is one of the most popular superfoods at the moment – rich in nutrients and helps boost your energy.
