I found 5lbs Chia Seeds on Amazon. As of this writing, the bag was only $23.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups cornmeal browned
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1 tsp salt
Whisk chia seeds and water together. Let stand 15 minutes. Whisk in cinnamon and brown sugar. Brown cornmeal. Add wet ingredients, mix well, and cook til clumpy and dry.
This turned out better than try 1. The clumps were larger and more consistent. Soaking the chia seeds made it slightly less crunchy. It’s still bland, so I’ll try a little more spice or sweetener next time.
This is based on the Pinole recipe at No Meat Athlete.
This is my first try. I picked up some chia seeds and cornmeal at Whole Foods.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Cornmeal browned
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- small bowl water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
Toast the cornmeal in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until it turns light brown, about 5 minutes. Mix in cinnamon, honey, and water. Cook off the water, continuing to stir.
This turned out fairly well. It isn’t really tastey, but it doesn’t taste bad. The chia seeds give it a crunch. There were some nice big chunks that were easy to pick up, but there were a lot of crumbs too.
