Gluten-Free Choc Hazelnut Biscuits
I whipped up a batch of these on Saturday for our My Health for Life group… and let’s just say, they didn’t last long!
Crisp on the outside, soft and nutty inside, they’re not only delicious, but perfect for anyone with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. These are made with simple, wholesome ingredients, no complicated steps, no fuss. Just chocolatey, nutty goodness in every bite.
Ingredients:
100g butter (softened to room temperature)
50 g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla
150 g gluten-free flour
40 g almond flour
1 egg
80 g dark chocolate (chopped)
55g hazelnuts (roasted and chopped).
Tip: A quick way to roast hazelnuts is to put them into a small fry pan and gently toss over a low to mid heat for 2-4 minutes, or until lightly browned and smelling delicious.
Method:
Preheat the oven to 170 °C, and line 1-2 baking trays with greaseproof paper, or grease trays well with butter.
Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until well mixed. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix into a soft dough. Drop a large teaspoon of dough onto baking trays and allow room for spreading. The recipe makes 20 biscuits. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until brown and cooked through. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an air-tight container for 3-5 days (if not eaten sooner).
