Healthy oat biscuits
Packed to the brim with rolled oats, seeds, dark chocolate and sultanas, these biscuits have loads of flavour but are also a better-for-you alternative to bought or sugar-laden biscuits. How to make healthier oat biscuits: key tips There isn’t any butter in these biscuits. Instead honey and coconut oil are melted together and provide the liquid to bind all of the dry ingredients together. Make sure that the honey mixture has cooled before adding, so that you don’t accidentally ‘cook’ the flour too soon or melt the choc chips. Drop a tablespoonful of the biscuit mixture for each biscuit onto the trays, leaving a little room for spreading. Place both the trays into the oven at the same time, and then switch them around halfway through cooking so that the biscuits cook evenly. The biscuits will still be quite soft after baking, so leave them to cool and harden up on the trays for about 10 minutes, before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Key ingredients in this healthier oat biscuits recipe To reap the most health benefits from these biscuits, opt for rolled oats (over quick oats), use wholemeal flour instead of regular flour, and go for dark choc chips in place of milk or white choc chips. Almond meal keeps these bikkies on the healthier side and also makes them deliciously moist. Sultanas, the choc chips and honey provide all the sweetness you’ll want in these oat biscuits – there is no need for added sugar. After some more healthier snack ideas?
