Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the maple syrup and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, cooked quinoa, dried coconut meat, chopped almonds, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Pour the melted butter and maple syrup mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the water. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture has a slightly sticky consistency.
- Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and shape them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your palm to form biscuit shapes.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cooled, store the biscuits in an airtight container. They should keep well for up to a week.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is completely melted to easily mix with the other ingredients and achieve the right cookie texture.
- Chop the almonds finely to ensure even distribution throughout the biscuits.
- Press down on the dough balls lightly with the back of a fork to flatten them and achieve a classic biscuit shape.
- If you prefer a chewier texture, reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes.
- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness for up to a week.
