It is a very rainy and miserable day here, so I decided to make the kids some biscuits and a hot home-made milo for afternoon tea.
Yes, I know, I am a truly awesome Mum!! 😉
Thinking about this recipe, I played around with some other flavours and came up with these Double Choc Berry Biccies!
I was pretty impressed. What a powerhouse little biscuit, chock-full of superfoods! You won’t get that in a Tim Tam!
Please check for sweetness. I like the bitey dark chocolate taste, but you might like them sweeter. I know the kids did!
Double Choc Berry Biccies
Vital stats: gluten-free, grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, vegetarian.
Okay, this is what you need:
1 cup almond meal
2 tablespoons organic cacao
2 tablespoons Crio Bru (unbrewed straight from the pack)
2 tablespoons Changing Habits coconut oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon coconut flour
2 tablespoons Superfoods for Kidz C-Berry Blast
1 organic egg
Okay, so this is how you do it:
Chuck everything together and mix. (I can’t make it any easier than that, can I??)
If you have a thermomix, make your almond meal first and then chuck everything else in and whizz.
Wet your hands and roll into balls – I made 15. Press down slightly on them. Fling on a baking tray with some baking paper.
Bake for 10 minutes or until brown in a 180 degree celsius oven.
I think they would also be fab, sandwiched with some paleo salted caramel.
I used three of my favourite superfoods in these biccies and you can get them from my affiliate shops. Click on the picture for more info and prices.

These sound fab….. anything that combines chocolate, berry and coconut oil is good in my book. I love bitey dark chocolate over the sugary sweet stuff – I just know these would be to my tastes – maybe I should give them a go with a flax egg or something similar 🙂
yep or even leave it out?
These look awesome. I live in a small town and the Superfoods for Kidz isn’t available here. Would have to wait at least a week to get it. Can you recommend an alternative – would it work if I whizzed some craisins or frozen berries in my Thermomix?
I would try something in powder form first Cheryl – I think frozen berries would make the mix too wet.
I’m wondering if you could use Macca or Inca Inchi powder instead of the crio bro or berry powder. Should work.
yes, definitely!
Hi Sonia, don’t have the Berry Blast. Can you suggest a replacement or just leave out ?
Many thanks, Belinda 🙂
You could try leaving out, but you might need to make it up with something in powder form to get the right wet to dry mix. 🙂
If I don’t have crio bru, can I replace it with something?
You could try anything I guess – coconut?
A woman after my own heart… bikkies made with coconut flour and raw cacao AND homemade Milo? Amaaaaazing! I’m on a strict diet at the moment, but so looking forward to being able to bake with beautiful whole ingredients like these xx
I hope you like them Lucie and I’m stoked you dropped by!!! 🙂
Instead of the Crui Bru which i am going to buy, I keep seeing and I want to try! -_- What type of Coconut do you mean? :=) I want to make these today to take on my GBR Scuba Dive holiday tomorrow 🙂
Maybe just some dessicated coconut? I am trying to think of something that would give you the same texture…. or even cacao nibs if you can get them.
I could dessicate my coconut in the thermie 🙂 Off to make them now super happy! Thank you /
thanks Jess – let me know how you go?
Omgollygosh NNAG they are absolutely the most tastiest, moist, delicious, perfectly yummy biscuits 😀 And I made them and i feel a healthy and positive food connection when i eat them -_- LOVE
These are great and thank you for the share~! ~
I will make and share with my family and friends, Entice there taste buds to a healthy change with food!
LOL – that is such great feedback!!!! 😀 love it
If I had a like button to like your comment, consider it liked! /
I am going to use that feedback on FB if that’s okay. It’s the best I’ve ever had…LOL 🙂
Mmmmmmmm, making these! I really must get some crio bru! Do I buy online or through you? I’m sick of saying I must try it and never get it, I haven’t seen in health food stores? I don’t drink coffee so this might be my new best friend! Xxx
You will love it! Some health stores have it, but mainly it’s direct from company. Just click on the links and it will take you through to their website. I stock up a few at a time to make postage worthwhile. Plus I give it out as gifts!! And my hot tip is to brew it on the stove – much richer. x
Tried all around town and couldn’t get any powders so just whizzed up 1 Tablespoon of cranberries to replace the 2 Tablespoons of C Berry Powder and the biscuits taste awesome. My nearly 3 scoffed hers and asked for “just 1 more then no more mummy” 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Oh that’s a great idea Cheryl – so glad she liked them!
yum yum yum yum yum! I love a good chocolate biscuit!!!!
loving the new look!
thanks Yvette… she did good, didn’t she!
Grrr I have been desperate to make these, they look so yummy!! I have the C berry Blast but the Crio bru is out of stock :/ I have been wanting that for AGES!! Finally have the money to get the family pack and have to wait lol! This will be made as soon as I get some crio bru 🙂 Thank you for posting an awesome recipe 🙂
The Crio love is going crazy!! You can make it without the crio, if you really want! 😉
These are yummy! My 3 year old loved them. I subbed Berry Choc Chunk powder for the Berry C Blast.
Thanks for the feedback Carly – good tip for the Berry Choc Chunk… extra chocolatey!
YUM!!
They look very melt in your mouth!
they are pretty good!! you could dip in some melted choc too for extra goodness 🙂
These look so yummy, I can’t wait to try it (got my stock of superfoods for kids last week and hubby and I enjoy it just as much as they do!!) Just curious though, any tips for an almond substitute? Was thinking maybe coconut flour, but not too sure as I have only just started using it!! Thanks 🙂
It’s really hard to direct swap coconut flour! If you have a thermomix or a strong blender, then you can make sunflower seed flour which is apparently what everyone is using instead of almond meal! 🙂
Oh great!! Is it the same quantity? Thanks heaps 🙂
I don’t have the crio bur or c berry blast but i do have raw cacao and superfoodz berry choc chunk. What do u think about replacing with these 2 ingredients? would i use same amount of cacao as crio? cheers.
definitely fine Amy 🙂
what is cacao?

ok, so really dumb question… is cacao what cocoa is made from? and why add both? is it for taste?
thanks
Okay so I am using cacao which is in powdered form and the Crio Bru is ground cocoa beans so it is like the texture of ground coffee! 🙂 I added both because I like chocolate! 😉
Hello Sonia,
What can I use instead of the Almond meal?
Thank you 🙂
Sunflower seed meal seems to be the replacement for almond meal Shannon – just grind them up 🙂
