Spice Biscuits

Biscuits without much sugar are pretty tricky but I gave this a go and they were very popular with the wee man.  Not strictly sugar free in a way as there's honey in them (so not baby friendly; sorry) but still much less sugar than a normal biscuit.

They're pretty crunchy and certainly spicy.  Also they're dairy free, wheat free (if you use gluten free oats) and egg free.  You never know when you need a good allergy friendly recipe!

Spice Biscuits - makes 8-10

Ingredients

100g, 3.5oz Porridge Oats
25g, a scant 1oz Dessicated Coconut (unsweetened)
2 tbsp Runny honey
2 tbsp Vegetable oil
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1-2 tsp Cinnamon (depending on how much you like your spice)
A sprinkle of nutmeg
1/2 Vanilla extract

Method

Preheat the oven to 160oC / 320F / Gas Mark 3.

Mix the oats, coconut, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg together.  Separately mix the honey, oil and extract.

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together and then mush together.  Roll into balls and squish down onto a greased baking tray.

Bake for approx 20 minutes.  Allow to cool on a wire rack.  Keep once cool for 2-3 days in an airtight box or tin.

A bit of news... I've been shortlisted for a Brilliance in Blogging BIB award by Britmums!  Yes really! I'm so excited.  Thank you very much if you nominated me.  If you like the look of my blog and feel so inclined, I'd be honoured if you could help a bit more by voting for me in the 'food' category on this link.  The top rated, most voted for blogs will get through to the final (and seeing as I make no money from my blog, I'd love to get to go out for a night out!  I'm easily pleased!)
