Hemp seeds are an excellent vegan source of protein, rich in healthy fatty acids and fiber. They are completely safe for health, and even beneficial compared to cannabis leaves and buds, because they do not contain cannabidiol (CBD), the active compound in cannabis, so they are perfectly safe even for children to eat!
Light, soft, and incredibly delicious hemp seed cookies with peanut butter and natural sweetener - dates. Recipe for lean vegan protein cookies. Does not contain refined sugar and gluten.
What are the benefits of cannabis seeds
Hemp seeds are useful because they are rich in important trace elements such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron.
Adding hemp seeds to your daily diet is a great way to get plenty of plant-based protein and significant nutrients without taking any supplements. This natural dietary supplement will help strengthen the immune system and improve the appearance of hair, skin, and nails.
The heart of hemp is relatively small and does not have much texture compared to other seeds. For example, such as chia, which are very crunchy.
They have a delicious nutty flavor that pairs well with nut butter or dairy-free yogurt.
How to use seeds
In addition to baking these hemp seed cookies, you can use hemp seed in:
- Vegan smoothie or vegan protein shake - add up to 1/4 cup seeds to a blender;
- Non-dairy yogurt - add 1-2 tablespoons of seeds to yogurt;
- Supplement your vegan pasta recipe with hemp seeds as a food supplement. They add amazing flavor and nutrients.
Ingredients for hemp cookies
All you need to make these hemp cookies:
- Oat flour. Place the oatmeal in a blender bowl and blend on high speed for only 30 seconds, sift the resulting mixture through a fine sieve. You can also use almond flour;
- Dates are fresh and pitted. The quality and texture of your products greatly affect the final result. We recommend using soft dates for a lighter texture;
- Peanut butter - or any other nut butter you like. For example, almond or sunflower;
- Vanilla extract.
