Here’s a wholesome, crunchy, and protein-packed Nut and Seed Biscuits recipe — perfect for snacking, cheese boards, or even as a healthy cracker substitute.
Nut and Seed Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ½ cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, or cashews), roughly chopped
- ½ cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, chia, or flax)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup water (adjust as needed)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix oats, flour, chopped nuts, seeds, baking powder, and salt.
- Add honey (or maple syrup) and olive oil. Stir to combine.
- Slowly add water, mixing until a thick dough forms (not too sticky).
2. Shape the Biscuits
- Roll dough into small balls (about 1 tbsp each).
- Flatten into round biscuit shapes (about ¼ inch thick).
- Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
3. Bake
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack (they firm up as they cool).
4. Serve & Store
- Serve with cheese, dips, or enjoy as a healthy snack.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Variations
- Savory: Add ½ tsp garlic powder, black pepper, or dried herbs (rosemary, thyme).
- Sweet: Add 2 tbsp brown sugar or dried cranberries/raisins.
- Gluten-Free: Use almond flour or oat flour instead of wheat flour.
