Wattleseed is an edible seed that comes from any variety of the Australian Acacia plant. They were traditionally used by indigenous people who ground them into a flour that was used to bake bread.
If you are wondering what on earth it tastes like, think of a combination of freshly roasted coffee and toasted hazelnuts… Yeh. Yum!
Australia is notorious for its harsh climate of dry bushland, which explains why we have such a unique array of flora and fauna. And these treasured seeds are found in pods protected by a hard husk the seed during long periods of dormancy.
It’s no wonder indigenous cultures of Australia sought out this highly nutritious seed.
The wattleseed you buy now comes as a powder which is dried, roasted and crushed. So you don’t need to harvest and hand grind it like it was traditionally done! You can buy it from The Australian Superfood Co. .

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, make a flax egg by combining the flaxseed with 30ml of water and allow to sit for 2 minutes to thicken.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the almond butter, wattleseed, baking powder, salt and erythritol.
Step 4
Stir in the flax egg and mix until it forms a dough. This is best done with hands.
Step 5
Shape into 6 cookies and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Leave to cool completely before removing from the tray. They will be very soft straight out of the oven.
