Guilt free biscuits
Following on from my last article ‘Got A Sweet Tooth?’, I have been looking at some alternative mid afternoon sweet snacks to go with your cup of tea. Here’s a recipe for some deliciously moist shortbread which I promise will fill you up without all the calories. It’s also dairy, sugar and wheat free (and I promise not flavour free, it’s really tasty and I’ve just finished making mine!)
Ingredients for 12 squares:
125g (4oz) dairy free spread
125g (4oz) honey or Agave Syrup*
150g (5oz) rice flour or ground rice
125g (4oz) wheat-free flour
125g (4oz) ground almonds
Pre-Heat Oven to 160 C / Gas Mark 3
Line a square baking tin with a little extra spread
Cream the spread with the honey or Agave until smooth
Stir in the flours, add the almonds and combine using a wooden spoon
Gather the dough into a soft ball and press down into the baking tin
Bake for 20 mins until golden brown, leave to cool and enjoy with a nice cup of tea!
* Agave is a natural sweetener, is sugar free and low in calories. It is low G.I. so won’t spike your blood sugar levels. It is also a key ingredient in making raw chocolate…watch this space for more coming up about that!
