Hi
Does anyone know what I could use these in - not keen on cakes but would like a savory option. - I'm happy to try anything just can't bare to put them in the bin.

Thanks

    I put seeds in my bread, but make my own blend as it usually works out cheaper, most recent batch had pumpkin, sunflower, linseed, hemp, but I have used poppy (gets everywhere!) and sesame. not sure if I have missed any.

    With the sunflower seeds you could add a slug of paprika/chilli, a bit of oil and some dried herbs and roast them in the oven for a bit to make spicy seeds.

    I shove seeds in bread too - just a handful of random things from the cupboard - millet and linseed last batch - but sunflower works fine too.

    I sometimes eat them just as a snack, tasty.
  • I make this bread in my BM - it makes a delicious, dense, heavy loaf, great with cheese.

    Nutty Seed Bread

    3/4 tsp yeast
    1 tbsp sugar
    1 tsp salt
    200g wholemeal bread four
    150g spelt (or rye) flour
    50g porridge oats (or buckwheat)
    7tbsp linseeds (or flax or other seeds)
    3 tbsp crushed nuts (snigger!)
    1 tbsp olive oil
    300ml water
    1 tbsp milk

    Use the wholemeal setting.
  • Thank you everyone - Going to try roasting the seeds.

    Thought I'd use the nuts in stuffing balls and freeze them. Don't have a bread maker - although I think I may be looking to get one soon so that's another great idea.

    Thanks again
