Oat tartlets with avocado hummus

This recipe is the definition of a "superfood" snack. We combine the filling fiber and beta-glucans of oats with the heart-healthy fats of avocado to create a bite that is both crunchy and creamy. It is an excellent option for those looking for nutritious snacks, free from refined flour and packed with quality energy. When seasoned with Bonsalt, we enhance the citrus flavor and the hint of cumin without adding sodium, thus protecting your arterial health and helping prevent fluid retention.

Nutritional Analysis and Total Macros

A nutrient-dense snack that cares for your heart. Here is the breakdown per serving:

Step-by-Step Professional Preparation

1. Tartlet dough: In a bowl, mix the oat flour with the egg, EVOO, and the Bonsalt 0%. Knead until you get a workable dough (add a tablespoon of water if it is too dry).

2. Shaping and baking: Roll out the dough and cut out circles. Place them in tartlet molds or upside-down muffin tins. Bake at 180°C for 12-15 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool.

3. Hummus base: In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, cumin, and lime juice.

4. Creaminess: Add the avocado flesh and the Bonsalt 0%. Blend again until you get a smooth, vibrant green cream.

5. Assembly: Fill the cooled oat tartlets with the avocado hummus just before serving so the base does not soften.

6. Decoration: Finish with a little chopped fresh cilantro and a few sesame seeds on top.

Nutritionist's Tips

This recipe is a wonderful source of folate and potassium. By using Bonsalt 0%, we eliminate the sodium that is often very high in store-bought snacks and hummus, supporting better blood pressure control. The combination of oat and chickpea fiber helps regulate digestion and provides lasting satiety, preventing between-meal snacking.
