About This Recipe
This sweet, seeded nut cracker recipe is a perfect example of how you can take a simple store-bought item, like pre-rolled puff pastry, and elevate it into something more nutritious and functional.
By adding mixed seeds and hazelnuts to this cracker recipe, you’re turning an everyday snack into a source of healthy fats, fibre, and plant-based protein. The seeds offer a rich blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for brain health and inflammation reduction, while the hazelnuts bring in Vitamin E, known for its antioxidant properties and skin health benefits.
The addition of egg yolk doesn’t just give these crackers their golden colour; it also adds a small protein boost and important vitamins like B12 and D, supporting energy production and bone health.
A light sprinkle of icing sugar adds just enough sweetness to make these crackers feel like a treat, but in a way that’s balanced with the functional ingredients you’ve mixed in.
