I have a problem with textures. I didn’t like iskiate at all. I grabbed my bottle and went for a run and ended up gagging on the stuff. I did find some uses for chia seeds that I didn’t totally hate. I made my favorite overnight oat recipe. Oats are supposed to be a bit thick, right? I added a tablespoon of chia and let it set overnight. Those were gooey in a wonderful way. I made my favorite chocolate pudding recipe and added some chia seeds. That was also gooey in a wonderful way.

You an also grind them or add them whole to salads, in cereals and even add them to baked goods. I find in baked goods, they give an extra nutty crunch, so if your baked good would taste good with a nutty flavor, add a little chia and see what happens.
I added 1/2 cup to my favorite brownie recipe and it was delicious.
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of sugar (make this lighter with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 3 bananas...it works)
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 8 ounces of melted butter
- 1 and ¼ cups of cocoa
- ½ cup of flour
- 2 tablespoons of vanilla
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Butter and flour your brownie pan.
- In a mixer, beat the eggs until fluffy and light yellow. And the sugar (bananas too). Add remaining ingredients and mix.
- Pour batter into pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until edges are brown.
