Ingredients

  • 200g Ground Flaxseed
  • 100g Pumpkin Seeds
  • 60g Almonds
  • 3 Tbsp chia seed
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ Tsp sea salt
  • A pinch of black pepper

  • Beat the eggs & add to the dry ingredients, add the Apple Cider Vinegar and leave the batter to rest for 5 minutes to thicken up.

Place on the prepared baking tray and use wet hands to shape/smooth the top and to press down lightly so that the bun is 5mm-1cm thick. Repeat with the rest of the batter, sprinkling the tops with the sesame seeds (if using) and gently pressing them in
