Chocolate & Coconut Biscuits

When you feel like choc chip biscuits without the guilt ... these babies are for you

Seriously these are fast becoming a staple for me as it hits the spot when I feel like chocolate but none of the guilt that comes with eating sugar fed biscuits.

Makes: 16-20 biscuits

Prep: 5 mins

Cooking time: 10-12 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup of almond butter (or other nut butter)

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

• 1/4 cup coconut oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 eggs

• 2 cups of plain flour (can use gluten free too)

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1/4 tsp bi-card soda

• 1/2 cup of dark choc-chips (can you no sugar brand)

• 1/4 cup coconut (flakes, desiccated, whatever)

Method:

• Preheat over to 180C and line a baking tray with baking paper

• Place almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla into a saucepan and gently stir on a low heat until combined, or you can microwave on and off every 30 seconds until melted

• Once it has cooled down, transfer to a large bowl and add whisked eggs into the mix

• Then add flour, cinnamon, sea salt, and bi-carb soda to the mixture and combine

• Add your choc-chips... go hard and coconut flakes etc.

• And then roll the dough into balls and place on the baking trays and press the biscuits down slightly until flatten

• Bake for 10-12 minutes until bottom of the biscuit is golden

• Let it cool down and then enjoy!

Notes:

• Biscuits can store in a cupboard for 7 days
