A delicious, vegan, healthy sugar free snack. One-bowl and quick to make, these apple & cinnamon biscuits are a perfect cookie for busy families.

Course: Dessert, Snack
Servings: 15 -20 biscuits, depending on the cutter size
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (70g) plain flour (you can use wholemeal, white or even gluten-free if you like)
  • 1/2 cup (70g) spelt flour (or another 1/2 cup plain flour)
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp xylitol, rice syrup, or a few drops liquid stevia to taste (optional)
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 small apple, cored and grated (peeled as well if you wish)
  • 1/2 tsp blackstrap molasses, optional but recommended for colour and flavour (leave out for completely sugar free)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • splash of milk if needed (non-dairy is fine)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200C/gas 6/400F.
  2. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add grated apple and stir well to coat in the flour mixture.

  3. Add molasses (if using) and melted coconut oil, and mix (ideally with clean hands) until the dough comes together. Add a splash of milk or more oil if you need it. It should make a slightly sticky dough but needs to be rolled out, so not too sticky!

  4. Flatten the dough to about 1/2" thick with your hands or a rolling pin, then use cutters to cut out your desired shapes (kids love this bit!).
  5. Place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake for 20 mins in preheated oven, or until the biscuits are fairly firm to the touch and getting golden around the edges.
  6. Allow to cool, then tuck in!
Recipe Notes

I call these "biscuits" in the English sense of the word: cookies. While they do have a slight scone-like American "biscuit"-ness about them, if that is what you are looking for, you will probably need to make them much thicker and bake for a little longer!
