Coconut and Cherry Oat Biscuits

Ingredients

50 g coconut flakes, unsweetened
180 g wholewheat flour
50 g oats
100 g dried cherries, chopped
75 g coconut sugar
1/4 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 tsp cinnamon
125 g coconut oil, melted
2 Tbs maple syrup

Method

Preheat the oven to 170 C/150 C fan-forced and line 2 baking trays with parchment. Place the coconut flakes in a dry non-stick pan on medium heat and toast, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Whisk the coconut oil and maple together in a bowl. To a large bowl, add the oats, flour, toasted coconut, coconut sugar, dried cherries, baking soda and cinnamon and whisk to combine.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon.

Using a teaspoon, scoop the dough into 18 cookies, place on the baking trays and use your hands to shape and flatten them slightly.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
