Creating apple biscuits without sugar, flour, and eggs can be a fun and healthy challenge! Here’s a simple recipe that relies on oats and apple as the primary ingredients, with a few other additions to enhance flavor and texture.
Ingredients:
- 2 large apples, grated
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almond meal (ground almonds)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional for a bit of lift)
- A pinch of salt
- Optional add-ins: raisins, chopped nuts, or seeds
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the apples:
- Grate the apples using a box grater or food processor. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber, but make sure to remove the core and seeds.
- Combine dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond meal, cinnamon, baking powder (if using), and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the grated apples, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The mixture should be moist and hold together when pressed.
- Shape the biscuits:
- Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and shape them into biscuits or cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Storage: Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Variations: Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or ginger, or add a handful of shredded coconut for extra texture.
These apple biscuits are nutritious and naturally sweetened with the apples, making them a great snack or breakfast option. Enjoy!
