Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose white wheat flour, oats, coconut meat, and orange zest. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the honey and stir well until both ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and consistent.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. The mixture will froth and become slightly more voluminous.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Add the chopped macadamia nuts and stir until everything is well incorporated and the dough begins to come together.
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between each biscuit to allow for spreading during baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the biscuits are completely cooled, serve and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Tips:
- Measure ingredients accurately.: Ensure you measure each ingredient exactly as specified to achieve the best results.
- Use fresh ingredients.: Fresh butter, oats, and coconut will enhance the flavor and texture of your biscuits.
- Don't overmix the dough.: Mix the ingredients until just combined to maintain the perfect balance of chewiness and crunch.
- Bake at the right temperature.: Ensure your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C) and bake until the biscuits are golden brown, usually around 12-15 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.: Allow your biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack to achieve the right texture and prevent sogginess.
- Store properly.: Keep your biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
