Sattu Cake & Cookies: Healthy Indulgences You Cannot Miss
Batter up a Cookie – The Sattu Way
What if we taught you to make crispy and crunchy cookie dough with the right mix of protein, fiber, and calcium, the perfect texture and flavor, and not to forget some natural sweetness and a lot of love?
Try these delicious baked sattu cookies. Just one bite is enough for a melt-in-the-mouth flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp sattu flour
- 2 tbsp oats flour
- 2 tbsp raw banana flour
- 4 tbsp makhana powder
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut flakes
- 2 tbsp A2 Ghee
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- ¼ tsp Srilankan cinnamon powder
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds powder
- 4 tbsp organic jaggery powder
- 3 tbsp A2 milk/ nut milk, as per suitability
Instructions
- Take a mixer grinder and pulse the sattu, oats flour, raw banana flour, makhana powder, and coconut flakes to a fine mixture.
- Transfer the ingredients to an empty bowl and add sesame seeds powder, cardamom powder, cinnamon powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Add ghee and jaggery powder. Lightly mix with your fingertips.
- Add milk to bind the dough together until it forms a tender dough.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven for 10 minutes.
- Once done, take out the cookie dough and mold it into the shapes of your choice. Ensure that the cookies are not too thick or thin. Maintain half-inch in thickness.
- Arrange them on a greased baking tray. You can opt to add cashew on top.
- Bake at 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Let the cookies stay in the warm oven for another 10 minutes before you take them out. Once done, let me cool completely.
- Store it in airtight jars. These will stay fresh for up to a week.
Power tip
- Avoid overmixing the batter. It will aerate it and cause the cookies to rise and fall.
Variations
- You can top or garnish your sattu cookies with toasted pumpkin seeds, almonds, or hazelnuts.
Notes
- Rich in fiber, sattu is excellent for your gut microbiome. It can ease constipation and help with smooth bowel movements. It fights acidity, flatulence, inflammation, and indigestion, too.
- Raw banana flour is low in sugar and contains highly resistant starch, which makes it ideal for diabetics. Resistant starch helps improve insulin sensitivity.

It’s Cake-O-Clock – The Sattu Way
Humble cake lovers! Here's the easiest way to whip a healthy cake. This sattu cake not only comes with the goodness of fresh ingredients sans preservatives and additives but also has the perfect blend of flavors and fillings.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sattu
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter or A2 ghee
- 1/2 cup dates powder
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 tbsp cacao nibs
- 2 tbsp chopped almonds and walnuts or choice
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla essence
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp beetroot powder
Instructions
- Mix all the dry ingredients like sattu, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sieve them.
- Preheat the oven.
- Separately mix unsalted butter/A2 ghee and coconut milk. Whisk well.
- Add vanilla essence, cardamom powder, mashed bananas, date powder, and beetroot powder next, and mix until even.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Once done, add a little coconut milk and adjust the consistency.
- Pour the mixture into the baking tray, sprinkle cacao nibs and bake for 25 minutes at 180 degrees.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Power tip
- If the cake sinks in the middle there are chances that the tray used for baking was too small. Using more milk than the desired quantity makes it sink, too. Be mindful of this.
Variations
- You can alternate almond flour with amaranth or ragi flour too.
Notes
- Apart from being rich in protein, sattu has generous proportions of iron, manganese, and magnesium. It is low in sodium.
- Adding almond flour not only gives it a rich texture but makes it rich in prebiotic fiber, magnesium, manganese, and Vitamin E.
