Oatie Biscuits
Serves: 12-15 biscuits
 
Ingredients
  • 100g rolled oats
  • 45g desiccated coconut
  • 90g dates, pitted
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 70g plain flour or gluten-free flour
  • 115g butter
  • 2 tbsp water
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C for fan ovens (200C for non fan ovens).
  2. Place your dates in a bowl and cover with 2 tablespoons of water and pop in the microwave covered for 1 minute until softened. If you don't have a microwave do this in a small saucepan for a few minutes.
  3. Take the dates out (leaving any excess water behind in the bowl).
  4. Place in a blender and blitz till broken down but it doesn't need to be smooth, just a pulp. If you don't have a blender you can squash with the back of a spoon.
  5. Cream/mix together the butter, honey and warm date mix until incorporated.
  6. Then add in the oats, cinnamon and flour and mix to a dough.
  7. Chill in the fridge to help set the butter until it's firm again.
  8. When firm, take tablespoons or walnut-sized pieces and place on a baking sheet lined with silicone or non stick parchment paper. You can either leave as balls or squash down flat to make a more flatten biscuit, both are delicious. The balls result in a more solid thick cookie and the squashed more of a delicate biscuit.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden round the edges and cooked through. Obviously, the thicker the longer they will take to cook.
