Gingernut Biscuits
Packed full of heart-healthy fats and protein, the nuts replace the flour, making them gluten free and extra tasty.
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 70 g unsalted cashew nuts
- 70 g whole almonds
- 20g desiccated coconut
- pinch sea salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Line a large, flat baking sheet with baking parchment.
- Place the cashews, almonds and coconut into a food processor and process to a fine, floury consistency. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the salt, baking powder, ground ginger, lemon juice and maple syrup to the bowl and mix well to form a dough.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 8 equal-sized balls and place, evenly spaced, on the baking sheet.
- Using the palm of your hand, flatten each ball to a diameter of 7.5 cm/3 inches; this will ensure that your biscuits crisp up nicely.
- Transfer the biscuits to the oven and bake for 16 minutes until golden. Leave to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before eating.
