Ingredients
- ½ cup flaxseeds golden roasted flaxseeds are best or ground flaxseed meal
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to your preference
- ¼ teaspoon paprika sweet paprika is best if you have it
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- If using whole flaxseeds, add to a coffee grinder and process until finely ground. If using pre-packaged ground flaxmeal, skip this step!
- In a medium bowl, add the ground flaxseeds, nutritional yeast, salt, paprika, chipotle powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk well to incorporate.
- Store in a covered mason jar in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Storage: Keep your homemade chipotle seasoning in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 months. If you want to stock up, freeze it in a sealed container, and it’ll stay fresh for at least 6 months.
- Flaxseed 101: Using whole flaxseeds? Grind them fresh for the best texture. Or, keep it simple and go for pre-ground flaxseed meal, a vegan pantry staple that doubles as an egg replacer.
- The Spice Jar Trick: Got an old spice jar or parmesan shaker? Fill it with some of your seasoning for easy sprinkling at the table!
- Heat Level Hack: Want to turn up the fire? Add up to 1 tablespoon of chipotle powder for extra heat, or dial it down if you like it milder.
