Ingredients

• 70g chopped walnuts
• 60g powdered almonds
• 60g porridge oats
• 100g melted butter
• 45g granulated sweetener
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 tsp almond essence

Method

STEP 1

Place the walnuts, almonds and oats into a food processor or mini-blender and blitz into a fine powder.

Add the other ingredients (butter, sweetener, egg, flavourings) and blitz again to a smooth paste.

STEP 2

Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon dipped in water to place balls of the mixture on a baking sheet (10 – 12 balls depending on the size). Flatten them with the back of the spoon and mark with a fork. (Dipping the spoon in water stops the mixture sticking to it.)

STEP 3

Bake at 180°c for 16 minutes. The biscuits will still be soft at this stage but leave them to cool and they will harden up and become crumbly. Store in an airtight container.
