I am loving these Easy Coconut Biccies.
They are perfect for lunchboxes as they have no nuts! Also great when you have a bare pantry – you only need four ingredients and they are so, so easy to throw together.
Feel free to add in your own bits and pieces – I have made them before with a mixture of dried fruit and some healthier choc chips would be yummo too. You may want to add in a little drizzle of honey and maple syrup if you like a really sweet biscuit, but I think the sultanas make them sweet enough.
Easy Coconut Biccies
Vital Stats: grain free, gluten free, dairy free, nut free, refined sugar free, paleo
Okay, this is what you need:
2 cups organic dessicated coconut
2 organic eggs
1 cup organic sultanas
1 teaspoon organic cinnamon
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
HOT TIP: Using organic coconut and fruit means you don’t have to worry about added sulphur dioxide. Read more here.
Okay, this is how you do it:
Preheat your oven to 180°c on a gentle setting. Fan force is too harsh for these little babies.
Mix everything together – I like to get my hands in there and give it a good massage to distribute the egg properly.
Squeeze into round biccies, about the size of a walnut. It will make about 15.
Whack on your baking paper lined tray and fling into the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are just set and lightly brown. Keep an eye on them!
Leave to cool on the tray to firm up. Enjoy!
HOT TIP: I love the If You Care Baking paper to cook with. It is unbleached and 100% chlorine free. I even wash it and reuse if it’s not too yucky. Your regular baking paper can contain chromium (a heavy metal).
These sounds great! I love that they have no sweetener in them.
Will give these a go with some 90% cocoa choc chips. x
Since seeing ‘That Sugar Film” I have been extra vigilant about the sugar!
Why do you used baking paper rather than the reusable baking mats like Tupperware etc?
I’m not a big fan of Tupperware – I try to avoid heating any sort of plastic. 🙂
So simple and they sound delish. Perfect for busy mums like me! And that parchment paper is the best!
I love a quick mix and bake recipe. Actually it’s pretty rare I cook anything else these days!! 😀
I could kiss you! You have no idea how much these have changed my life. I am SO happy to have found these as I’ve been wanting an easy gluten, grain and nut free cookie since I started eating a whole food diet nearly 3 years ago! I have had many sad attempts but this is a fantastic recipe that is so cheap and easy. I have had intense cookie cravings in my third trimester of pregnancy and now I’m truly delighted that I can indulge finally!
Yay Catherine! So glad you like them !!! 😀
Thanks for another great recipe, Sonia. I only have a fan forced oven, so I started them at 150 then boosted it to 170 after five minutes and they held together fine. I also cut the cooking time to 13 mins xx
Oh thanks Jo – good to know! I have fan forced but I can change the setting. The time I cooked them at fan forced, they went burny!! 😀
