Love To Bake? Here Is the Jack(fruit) of All Trades

Luke Coutinho - Priyanka Vithlani (Meal Planning Analyst)
This superfood cookie is loaded with the goodness of jackfruit flour. It has 40% fewer carbohydrates and four times higher fiber than a cup of wheat flour, giving it a double bind placebo effect with its glucose-lowering effects. Add a punch of protein, iron, and manganese to it using sattu flour. Every bite has loads of nutrition, making it a clear crowd favorite.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup sattu flour
  • 1/4 cup jackfruit flour
  • 1/4 cup sesame and ground flax powder
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seed powder
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut
  • 3 tbsp jaggery powder organic
  • 2 tbsp A2 organic ghee
  • 2 tsp cold-pressed virgin coconut oil
  • 1 tsp fennel powder/cardamom powder
  • Salt as per taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix ghee, oil, and jaggery powder.
  • Whisk until light and fluffy.
  • Add fennel seeds or cardamom powder and salt.
  • Drop in the sattu flour, jackfruit flour, grated coconut, pumpkin seed powder, and flax powder.
  • Mix gently. Avoid kneading.
  • If you knead it, the cookie will turn out to be chewy.
  • Just mix and gather.
  • Preheat the oven to 170 degrees for 5 minutes.
  • Roll out into thick chapatis and cut into cookie shapes.
  • Use a fork to make insertions into the cookie.
  • Since we are not using any raising agent, the insertions will help make the cookie soft and crunchy.
  • Place the greased tray and bake at 170 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until the top browns a little.
  • Allow the cookie to cool down.
  • Relish and enjoy.

Power tips and variations

  • We can alternate jackfruit flour with raw banana flour too.
  • Add chopped nuts if they suit you.

Notes

The tropical jackfruit contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron.
  • The high-fiber content in jackfruit and the lower glycemic load make it a treat to relish for those who have diabetes too.
  • Adding sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and ground flax makes it rich in phytochemicals, calcium, magnesium, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
