Ingredients

gluten free rolled oats

trader joes 21 seasoning salute

sesame seeds

hulled hemp seeds

Setup

2 cups of gluten-free whole rolled oats
1 cup chickpea flour
1/4 cup sesame seeds
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3 tablespoons of your favorite salt-free seasoning blend (I used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute)
2 1/2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1 tablespoon hulled hemp seeds
Salt/pepper to taste
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (garnish) (optional)
1/3 cup sprouted pumpkin seeds (garnish) (optional)
2 cups of water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350-degrees

Line a large baking sheet (12x18) with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone mat

To a food processor, add the oats, chickpea flour, sesame seeds, nutritional yeast, seasoning, flax, hemp and salt/pepper.

If your machine has a slow setting, use that while slowly drizzling in water. You may not use it all. You're looking for a very thick mixture where there is a lot of texture. You do not want a runny and pureed mix. I usually have about 2-3 tablespoons of water left over.

Transfer the mixture to the baking sheet and using a silicone spatula, spread out the mixture as evenly as you can, keeping the mixture not more than 1/4" thick. Take your time ;)

Bake for 15 minutes and remove the pan, score the mixture in any way you'd like. Triangles, squares, cookie cutter animals - whatever!

Next, take your garnish and sprinkle evenly. Gently press into the mixture.

Bake for another 45 minutes.**

Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Store in a sealed container in the freezer.

I hope you love these as much as I do!!

** If you find the middle of the mixture is very soft, place back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Continue to bake at 5 minute increments until the middle is cooked. Somewhat soft is ok, it will firm up. If the perimeter of the mixture is becoming dark brown, do not continue to cook.
