Hemp seed cookies are here!!
Have you ever heard of hemp seeds? They have become more trendy the past few years along with chia seeds, flax seeds, and more. Hemp seeds pack more protein, iron, and omega 3’s than chia or flax seeds so they are truly a nutritional powerhouse.
Hemp seeds are extremely versatile and are great for mixing into desserts or oatmeal, as well as topping your yogurt or salad. It’s a great way to get a little extra nutritional boost.
I’ve been a Manitoba Harvest ambassador for a couple years and always love using their hemp seeds in desserts. (Full disclosure: these were samples sent to me but I was not asked or compensated to write this post). A couple weeks ago I made the most delicious hemp seed cookies and when I shared them on Instagram I had so many requests for the recipe. I didn’t measure everything exactly so I remade the hemp seed cookies so I could share them!
One of the only big changes I made was grounding the oats and hemp hearts to create a flour but if you don’t mind a more grainy consistency for your cookies then you don’t need to bother busting out the food processor. Hemp seed cookies are also great for a snack or breakfast.
