Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
• 1/3 cup boiling water
• 1 Tbsp. oil
• 1 Tbsp. water
• 1 cup onion, finely diced
• 1 cup celery, finely diced
• 1 Tbsp. dried Parsley
• 3/4 cup oat flour
• 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. dry mustard
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, finely shredded
• 2 6 ounce cans of tuna, drained
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 egg white, beaten

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and boiling water. The seeds can be whole or ground. Stir with a fork for even distribution of the seeds. Set aside for a few minutes to thicken.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, add the oil, water, onion, celery and parsley. Cover and cook until they are tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to sit until cool.
3. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a muffin tin or place liners in each compartment.
4. Whisk the oat flour, cornstarch, mustard and pepper together in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese, stir and set aside.
5. In a new bowl, mix together the cooked onion mix with the chia, tuna, egg, and egg white. Add this mixture to your dry mix, stirring until evenly mixed.
6. Divide your mixture evenly between 12 muffin compartments and sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheddar cheese.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are browned and center is hot.
