Welcome to my kitchen (lab?)
My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong.
Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!

Chia Seed Crackers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enecp4OGgb-lfqs Recipe notes and tips: - Could the darkening colour on the air fryer ones be from the BBQ sauce, rather than the mix itself? This will be something to keep in mind next time I try the recipe. If so, it means the temperature can stay at 130 or 140 - If you want some extra zing in your tzatziki, add a squeeze of lemon juice. This may alo help if you can only find sweetened plain yoghurt - Stir the dip before serving if making it in advance. Because of the salt, you’ll notice some as the juice gets leached out of the cucumber. You could also firmly squeeze the shredded cucumber in a tea towel before adding it. This will squeeze a lot of the juice out of it. Ultimately, you’re chucking away flavour, so I never bother - Keto alternative to BBQ sauce; mix 1 teaspoon of ground flax (or chia) with 3 tablespoons of boiling water, mix well, and then leave for 10-15 minutes. This will form a gloopy mixture (also known as a flax egg) that will help bind the mixture. You can then add things like smoked paprika, onion & garlic powders, and even some sweetener

Looks great!

It worked so well!

[@dannyknightblade4592]

Personally I prefer chewy snacks over crunchy snacks, but this snack still looks like it might be good.

[@AuntieRachelsChaoticKitchen]

I think if you do the air fryer ones at a lower temperature, you'll get more chew than crunch
