    Chocolate Chip and Chia Seed Baked Oatmeal can be eaten as a breakfast or a snack. It's a healthy recipe that doesn't taste healthy!

    Chocolate Chip and Chia Seed Cookie Recipe

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2013. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    I've jumped on the chia seed bandwagon recently, and I'm so glad to be on board! Did you know that chia seeds have a nice nutty flavor and a pleasant little crunch? They are also an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids and they can help reduce inflammation, enhance cognitive performance and reduce high cholesterol.

    These little guys known as chia seeds pack quite a healthy punch and are so much more than those cheesy little holiday gifts that grew sprouts on top of a little clay head. Cha, cha, cha, chia!

    Chia seeds are also rich in antioxidants which help to protect the body from aging and cancer as well as act as a hunger suppressant since they help you to feel fuller longer.

    If that's not enough reason to make you jump on the chia seed bandwagon with me...I don't know what will!

    By mixing chia seeds with some of your favorite foods, you'll reap all the health benefits they have to offer, but you won't be sacrificing any of the flavors you love (e.g. chocolate chip cookie wedges). Trust me.

     

    (I adapted this recipe from one I found in Cooking Light magazine, April 2013 edition.)

      There isn't much dessert made with oatmeal that I haven't liked. I'm sure that I'd enjoy this and the chai seeds make it a very healthy snack...right? 🙂
