Quince slices: pumpkin seeds not only add great flavor but also provide a relatively high amount of magnesium that strengthens nerves and muscles.

Ingredients

  • 6 whole grain crackers
  • 300 g pumpkin seeds
  • 50 g millet
  • 0.5 lime
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 300 g quince (2 quinces)
  • 5 eggs
  • 120 g raw cane sugar
  • 3 tbsp Milk (3.5% fat)

    Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.

    Wash, dry, peel, and finely grate the quinces. Mix with lime juice.

  7. 7.

    Add the ground cracker mixture, grated quince, and vanilla seeds to the egg batter and fold gently.
