Traditionally these delicious biscuits are made with rolled sugar, golden syrup, white flour and butter. So many times I’ve had to sadly shake my head when offered one and then silently curse my healthy eating approach to food. It’s not fair right?! So here’s my healthy version of these crumbly delights – coming in at just 87 calories each. Huzzah!
Recipe
SERVES: 20
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup chopped almonds
- 1½ tablespoons organic coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon water
METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 150º.
- Combine oats, coconut and almonds in a food processor.
- Add the oil, spices, maple and vanilla. Blend again until well combined.
- Add water and process again until a dough forms.

Substitute the rolled oats for quinoa flakes for a gluten-free version.
