Ingredients

• 1 cup Flax seeds
• 0.5 cup Chia seeds
• 0.25 cup Sesame seeds
• 0.25 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a dry, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the flax seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds to the skillet and toast them lightly for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 3

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the seeds cool completely.

Step 4

Once cooled, transfer the toasted seeds to a food processor or spice grinder.

Step 5

Add the ground cinnamon and sea salt (if using) to the food processor.

Step 6

Pulse the mixture 3-4 times, or until the seeds are coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you want the mixture to remain granular and not turn into a paste.

Step 7

Transfer the flax seed sprinkle to an airtight container for storage.

Step 8

Store in a cool, dry place or the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 9

Use as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, or salads for added texture and nutrition.
