Preheat oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4 and line a large tray with baking parchment or a silicone mat
First up, grind the flax seeds in a blender to a fine powder then mix with 2 tblsp water. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken slightly
Put all the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl, add the flax ‘egg’ and mix everything together well with a spatula – the dough will form together as you work it
Using your hands roll the dough into 12 equal (ish!) sized balls and place on the baking tray, squashing down with your palm. Then press down onto the top with a fork for a more decorative finish ;)
Bake for 15 minutes until they’re just firm and slightly crisp on the edges
Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the tray before storing in an airtight container
