Mixed Nuts & Seeds Florentines Crackers Biscuit
Traditionally, florentines are typically made from nuts (most of the times, hazelnuts and almonds) mixed with sugar melted together with butter and honey, then baked in an oven (Best Selling Smart Oven). However, modern day florentines have evolved to be healthier biscuits (or cookies) or more accurately, thin crackers formed from a mixture of nuts, seeds, egg whites, honey.
Our family version of florentines consists of a mix of sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, sesame seeds, and in replacement of honey, date syrup (I used Organic Just Date Syrup, 1-Ingredient: 100% Organic Medjool Dates)
Egg whites omitted, just because I did not want the "burdened" of leftover egg yolk. I was also making a small batch, experimenting to see what works and what does not.
So happy that it did work out without using egg white. The nuts and seeds mixture bind and form to a crisp crunchy cracker biscuit, albeit delicately fragile.
