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