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.
