minutesIngredients
2 medium sized eggs
8 süße Dates, pitted
400 g Almonds, ground
1 Medium sized egg white;
2 TL MANUKA honey
Preparation
- Mash the dates with a hand blender. Beat 2 eggs until frothy, stir in the date mixture, almonds and cinnamon and knead with your hands until a firm dough forms. Chill the dough in the fridge for approx. 1 hour to make it easier to roll out afterwards.
- Preheat the oven to 120°C fan oven.
- Roll out the cinnamon star dough between two sheets of baking paper with a rolling pin to a thickness of approx. 1 cm, cut out stars and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Dip the cutter in cold water from time to time to make it easier to cut out the stars.
- Beat one egg white with a hand mixer until stiff, add the honey and mix well again until you have a smooth egg white mixture. Brush the stars with the beaten egg whites and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. The beaten egg whites should not turn brown and the cinnamon stars may still be a little soft.
Artgerechte Food Facts
Eggs are a great source of protein and have a firm place in a species-appropriate diet. They are a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and contain numerous vitamins, such as vitamins A, B, D and E. (Please note: animal products are only species-appropriate if the animal has also been kept and fed in a species-appropriate manner.
Dates these are a natural source of sweetness and belong to the drupe family. They are a fast source of energy for the muscles and brain. The amino acid tryptophan it contains stimulates the production of serotonin and melatonin, which promotes a good night's sleep. Dates are also rich in vitamins and minerals and have an antioxidant effect. The reddish color comes from beta-carotene (i.e. provitamin A), which can regulate cell growth in the body.
Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in polyunsaturated fats. They also have an antioxidant effect.
Cinnamon not only provides flavor and well-being, but also has a positive effect on blood sugar levels and metabolism.
Honey has been considered a natural remedy for thousands of years and is known for its effect against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Manuka honey works best here – its high methylglyoxal content (MGO) makes it unique. In general, the darker the honey, the higher the pinostrobin content. Honey should not be heated for too long, as otherwise the beneficial substances are quickly destroyed. Therefore, only add the honey at the end and only heat briefly.
