If you feel like a tasty little biscuit with your cuppa, you can take my word for it – these are a great option.
Packed with fruit, nuts, oats and spice, these biscuits have loads of flavour and no added sugars or preservatives.
Apple juice concentrate is a sugar alternative and is available at health food stores.
If you can’t find it you can use some good quality apple juice instead.
Dates are a great addition to baking and desserts, as they turn deliciously sticky when cooked.
Try this healthy snack when you feel like something sweet.
Ingredients:
- 10 dried dates
- 6 tbsp (90ml) apple juice concentrate (or apple juice)
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sultanas
- ½ cup walnuts
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 egg white
- Olive oil spray
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and spray two trays with olive oil.
- Place the dates and apple juice concentrate in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Simmer for 4-5 minutes, until the dates are soft. Puree the date mixture in a food processor and place in a large bowl.
- Add the oats, sultanas, walnuts, oil and cinnamon to the date mix and combine with a wooden spoon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until fluffy and fold into the mixture.
- Use your hands to form and compress the mix into golf ball size, then flatten with your hand.
- These biscuits can be quite crumbly at this stage so you may need to really squeeeeze them tight so that they stick together.
- Place on the tray and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow them to cool completely on the tray – if you move them too soon they will fall apart. Store in an air-tight container.
