Protein corn cakes with chia and flaxseed are crisp, puffed corn cakes with added seeds and protein. Their light, crunchy texture makes them easy to eat on their own as a snack, or to use as a base for toppings. The mild corn flavour and slight nuttiness from the seeds work well with savoury spreads, sliced vegetables or nut butter.
They’re a handy option for a quick breakfast or lunchbox snack, and can stand in for toast when you want something crisp and gluten-free. With 20 g of protein and 8 g of fibre per 100 g, they have more staying power than plain corn cakes. Add hummus or avocado for a more substantial bite, or keep the topping light if you prefer a smaller snack.
