Everyone loves biscuits but on the whole they pretty much
come into the category of empty carbs and your average teen can hoover a whole
packet and still feel hungry. So I came up with these chunky little darlings.
The flours are protein rich and they’re full of nuts, both of which mean that
they keep the teen going for longer and they don’t need as many to feel full.
Ingredients:
250gms olive oil spread
175 gms kamut flour
125 gms einkorn flour
175 gms sugar
50gms walnuts, chopped
75gms dark choc chips or dark chocolate,
chopped
1.
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees fan, 200
degrees conventional
2.
Cream the fat.
3.
Add in the flours and sugars. I do this
gradually as it makes it easier to mix by hand but if you are using a mixer
then you could add it all in at once. Mix to a smooth and not very sticky paste
4.
Add the chopped nuts and chocolate and mix in
thoroughly.
5.
Line a baking sheet with baking parchment
6.
Break off golf-ball sized pieces of the dough
and roll into balls. Place on the baking parchment leaving plenty of space for
them to spread.
7.
Flatten each ball into a circle a bit over a
centimetre thick.
8.
Cook for 20 minutes until golden and then place
on a rack to cool.
These will fill the kitchen with the most wonderful aroma
while they’re baking but, beware. Don’t
eat them too soon. The chocolate burns!
Another one to try. This blog is brilliant, Jeannette. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. I'll be baking more of these later, too.
