I got 12 but only because I added 1 Tbsp coconut and 4 medjool dates. They are delicious, GF, therefore free of iron in flour. Next time I will cut back on the salt a bit as half a tsp is just a bit much for me.
I would also like to try letting the mix sit for 20 mins to allow the chia to absorb more moisture and not be crunchy. Thank you though. Great taste. I used 200gms of peeled banana.

I made these yesterday (I made 12 – not too big, just the right size) – they are so easy in the Thermomix and so tasty! They smelt delicious when they were cooking and my husband asked what was in the oven (obviously hoping it was a treat to eat!). And then as he was eating one, he said that they were very tasty and asked whether they were ‘good for you’. How good to find a recipe that meets all the criteria – easy to make, tastes delicious and is good for you too!!!
