Who doesn’t love a good cookie? These kelp energy rounds are great hiking snacks and served as the celebratory Birthday Cookies for Zen and Vitality’s 4th birthday.
Kelp Energy Rounds
Servings: 24 Rounds
Ingredients
- 2 cups ground up mixed seeds and nuts choose at least 2: pumpkin, flax, sesame, almond, hazelnut, walnut
- 2 Tbsp kelp, granulated yes this is a seaweed
- 1/4 tsp sea salt Real Salt from an ancient seabed in Utah
- 1/2 cup maple syrup dark, rich flavored is best
Instructions
- Grind seeds and nuts into powder – total of 2 cups when finished
- Mix everything together
- Spoon into 24 even splotches on cookie sheet (I use stoneware to prevent burning)
- Using wet fingers, shape into a round, flat disk
- Optional: Sprinkle with a few cacao nibs for extra celebratory fun
- Bake in 350 degree oven for about 20 min (maybe less if using a metal cookie sheet)
Notes
I use locally grown maple syrup from S&S Maple Camp in Corriganville, MD.
For Zen and Vitality’s 4th Birthday Cookies, I used a combination of flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, raw almonds, and walnuts (that had been roasted with a bit of cinnamon and salt).
I have also liked a blend of almonds, hazelnuts, and pumpkin seeds.
