What can I say about these biscuits (or cookies as the Americans like to call them)? Well, they are chewy and they taste like honey and they are very, very addictive!
It’s actually a great base recipe so add in whatever you like in place of the sultanas. The almond meal means they are really filling, so you really only need one with your cuppa to feel satisfied.
Do you like a chewy biscuit or a crisp biscuit best? Me, I will eat them any which way and however they come!
Chewy Honey Biscuits
Vital Stats: gluten free, grain free, dairy free, egg free, vegetarian
This is what you need:
3 cups organic or pesticide free almond meal
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon organic cinnamon
1/4 cup macadamia oil
1/2 cup organic sultanas
3/4 cup organic raw honey
This is how you do it:
Mix everything together and then roll into small balls about the size of a walnut.
Place on a non toxic baking paper lined tray, pressing them down a little.
Cook for 15 – 20 minutes at 180 degrees celsius.
Leave room for spreading! Cool on a wire rack.
They firm up a little after cooking but are meant to be chewy.
These freeze beautifully, so make up a double batch and pop some in the freezer for those times when you need a healthy sweet treat!
**Just be careful to watch the biscuits as nuts and honey are prone to burn quickly**

What do you suggest to replace almond meal? My son has nuts allergies
Hi Rachel. You could try it with sunflower seed meal and see how it goes, but I haven’t tried it so not sure. 🙂
I couldn’t find macadamia oil in the supermarket. What could I use as a substitute????
Hey Tracey, any oil really will do. I just like the macadamia because it’s not too strong in flavour but a light olive oil or coconut oil would be okay. Even melted butter. 🙂
Just made them and wow they are so so yummy! Even the kids love them!
I used melted butter since I didn’t have the oil! Thanks so much for the recipe!!!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
