I am generally fond of snacking on nuts and especially if it’s nicely roasted with some exotic flavors. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and extreme pleasure.

Also, I am always on a lookout for some different nuts and this time I got hold onto some raw hazelnuts.

Thereon, my recipe was created in my mind and I eagerly started jotting down my idea on a piece of paper while I was still in the grocery store 🙂 .

Maple Glazed Hazelnut Chia Snack is definitely a winner and absolutely divine. Its luscious flavors and delectable aroma still lingers in my taste buds and thoughts.

Even though I have made couple of more batches for my relatives on a high demand I still can’t get enough of this deliciousness.

 

It is to note that it has some amount of maple syrup. However, it adds to its subtle sweet flavor and the bakery aroma. 

I would highly recommend to stick to the mentioned servings so as to not go overboard with calories.

Easy steps to make Maple Glazed Hazelnut Chia Snack

For this, I heated some pure maple syrup (100% pure) and to add a shine I added little olive oil. You can make this without oil as well if desired.

Thereafter, I tossed in raw unsalted hazelnuts and let it cook for a while. My entire kitchen smelled delicious.

Lastly, I folded in some super food chia seeds and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

Afterwards, I crushed hazelnuts with a pestle roughly before they cooled down.

Then immediately, I spread this snack as a thick layer on a cookie sheet and let it rest in the freezer for 15 minutes or until completely cooled.

Hungrily and excitedly, we all waited for the last finishing touch. Just before serving I roughly chopped them into crumbly cluster and we all enjoyed this snack thoroughly directly from the cookie sheet.

 

I am sure by now you all must be drooling. So what are you waiting for? Grab some hazelnuts and quickly make this snack.
