I woke up this morning with the urge to bake. Hungry, as I usually am first thing in the morning I set about my mission to create something tasty, filling and good for me.
Rifling through my cupboards and gathering what ingredients I had I decided upon these delicious almond and peanut butter oat biscuits. Packed full of goodness they are the perfect pick me up breakfast treat....or any time of the day treat!
I chose to use peanuts and almonds though you could use any nut you fancy. I'm definitely going to incorporate pecans when I next make them!
100g rolled oats
100g mixed nuts
50g cocoa nibs
2 tbsp coconut oil
5 tbsp runny honey
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
180 C oven temp
If, like me, you only have whole nuts you firstly need to grind them down. However you chose to do this is down to you. My preferred method is to put them in a sandwich bag and start bashing with a rolling pin.
Once they are broken up add them to the oats along with the coca nibs and baking powder. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Then add the coconut oil and honey. Give this all good stir so the dry mixture is evenly coated, finally add the egg to bind it all.
To make the biscuits roll the mixture into 6 - 8 even sized balls. Grease a lined baking tray with a little coconut oil. Press down the balls onto the baking tray and mould into a biscuit shape. You want the biscuits to be about 1cm thick. Finally just before you pop them in the oven add a dollop of peanut butter on top! For all you peanut butter lovers out there, the more the better!
Bake them for approx 10 mins or until the biscuits have a lovely golden colour.
These are delicious eaten warm, though I suggest waiting a minuet or two before you tuck in. Speaking from experience you don't want to burn your tongue on molten peanut butter!!
