Instructions

1. Stir the chia seeds into the water and let them soak for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mass becomes gel-like.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa into a mixing bowl. Add the almonds, sugar and vanilla sugar. Stir in the vegetable oil and chia gel with the dough hook of the hand mixer or the food processor. Then knead into a bound dough with your hands.
3. Shape the relatively firm dough into small balls (approx. 2 cm in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper (for me the dough was enough for 45 balls. These just fit on a baking sheet). The balls only rise a little while baking.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C top / bottom heat for 10 minutes. The balls can be glazed as desired.
5. Variants:
6. For a white cocoa-free variant, the cocoa can simply be replaced with flour. The almonds can be completely or partially replaced with desiccated coconut.
