HYGGE TREAT: CINNAMON & GINGER BISCUITS
Makes 30 – 35 biscuits
I can’t quite believe we’re at the end of my Summer recipe sharing here on That Scandinavian Feeling. I have had a delightful time researching Scandinavian inspired dishes and coming up with my own free from versions. I originally had a kind of truffle in mind for the sweet recipe in this series and it just didn’t work out. I went with the flow, channeled my inner hygge and created these scrumptious cinnamon and ginger biscuits instead. It’s the first time I’ve really been able to create a proper biscuity crunch whilst keeping the recipe gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free. I hope you enjoy these very yummy biscuits, they are perfect with a nice cup of tea or coffee!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup or 125g of rice flour
- ½ cup or 60g of walnuts
- 1 tsp of ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp of ground ginger
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 10 tbsp of agave syrup
- 80g of dark chocolate – mine was dairy free and refined sugar free
- 4 tbsp of agave syrup
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 190’c.
- Place the rice flour, walnuts, cinnamon, ginger and salt into a food processor. Mix well until it all has a flour like consistency.
- Add the olive oil and agave syrup mix again until a dough has formed.
- Roll onto a floured surface and cut out the biscuits.
- Bake for around 15 mins on greaseproof paper.
- Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
- Whilst they cool melt the dark chocolate and stir in the 4 tbsp of agave syrup.
- Once the biscuits are completely cool, spread the chocolate on evenly and pop into the fridge for about an hour for the chocolate to set.
- Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.
