But I thought I'd try to make them even healthier by swapping out the sugar for less-refined pure maple syrup, and adding in various healthy seeds, like chia, sesame, pumpkin & flax.
It worked wonderfully. They make for a truly guilt-free snack. And they're high in protein, which makes them a great snack for kids too. My 2 year old loved them, so toddler-approved.
Read on for the recipe....
^^ classic florentine / black sesame florentine ^^
^^ chia seed florentine / pumpkin seed florentine ^^
(Makes about fifteen 2-to-3-inch cookies)
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup (or 1/3 cup powdered sugar) *See note below about sweetness
- About 1/3 cup healthy mix-ins of your choice (flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, coconut, pine nuts whatever!)
*The original recipe calls for 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and the resulting cookie has just the right sweetness level. I exchanged the powdered sugar for 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, and the cookie was just ever-so-slightly under-sweetened. Adding more maple syrup, however, would be a waste, as it will just pool at the bottom of the bowl and won't actually add extra sweetness to the final cookies. You could, however, sprinkle the cookies with cane sugar just before popping them into the oven. Or use 1/3 cup of another non-liquid sweetener of your choice instead.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 315 degrees F (if using maple syrup as the sweetener). Use 325 degrees F if using the powdered sugar. Line a baking tray with parchment paper (optional: brush the parchment paper lightly with oil - this helps the cookies peel off easier, but it is not necessary).
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
Place a spoonful of mixture onto the baking sheet. Using a fork dipped in cold water, delicately spread out/flatten into a circle shape. Make sure not to leave big spaces between the almonds as you spread them out. They may look like they won't hold together, but as they cook the sugar & egg white form a candy that binds the almonds together. The cookies do not spread out or expand as they bake, so you can fit as many on a single tray as you like, as long as the individual cookies aren't touching each other.
Bake at 315 degrees until golden brown (18-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the cookies).
Allow them to cool on their baking tray, then gently peel the parchment paper off the cookies one by one.

I love florentines, too, so what a great idea for the variations. I'll be trying these.
I really enjoy your blog and Instagram photos, thanks for sharing. I lived in Labrador for two years, so know the joy and pain!!
Thanks, Wendy!
I've always wanted to go to Labrador - I'm very intrigued by it. But I imagine living anywhere remote and a bit a desolate (like where I live) can be both challenging and wonderful.
Thanks for following along, and for letting me know. It really makes my day :)
Thank you for your post. This is excellent information.
It is amazing and wonderful to visit your site

Followed the recipe exactly and loved it!
A question though, can I use honey instead of maple syrup? Maple syrup isn't always available where I'm from. Thanks!

I know your expertise on this. I must say we should have an online discussion on this. Writing only comments will close the discussion straight away! And will restrict the benefits from this information.
