I wanted to make my own healthy version of the over-sized sugar-filled spotty biscuits you can find at most cafes that always have the ability to draw kids in like a magnet! These alternatives may not look the prettiest, but with oats, chia seeds and banana, they pack a nutritional punch and my kids loooved them! Freezeable and great for the lunchbox.
Ingredients:
-
1 1/2 cups plain wholemeal flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 tbs chia seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 over-ripe banana, mashed
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla paste
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbs milk
- 1 tbs honey
- 1/4 cup smarties/m&ms/choc pieces chopped
Method:
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees
- In a large bowl, add the flour, oats, chia seeds and baking powder
- In a separate bowl, combine the mashed banana, egg, vanilla paste, coconut oil, milk and honey and mix until combined
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until just combined
- Add the chocolate pieces and gently stir
- Place spoonfuls of mixture onto a lined baking tray
- Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden
- Leave on baking tray to cool
