Quick gluten-free biscuits with oats, almond butter and cocoa!

This is one of many combinations to make quick homemade biscuits and avoid buying processed products from the supermarket that are full of additives and sugars.

This recipe contains raisins for the sweet taste but I would not recommend to add them if you are following an anti-inflammatory diet. Remember that high sugar consumption leads to increased inflammation in the body, so reducing added sugars is key.

If you don't want to add raisins or any other form of natural sugars but still desire a sweet taste, consider using natural stevia. However, I always recommend not using stevia to help reduce our addiction to the taste of sugar in foods - I simply don't have stevia at home!

This recipe took me 5-10 min to prep & 15 min in the oven and gives you 8 biscuits. You can make them smaller or flatten them more to get more biscuits out of the mixture.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free oats

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• Pinch of sea salt

• 1 tablespoon of almond flakes

• 1 tablespoon organic cocoa powder

• Optional: Some raisins (if you prefer sweeter biscuits but that will increase the sugar content of each biscuit to 3 grams, instead of 0.5 grams)

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 organic egg

• 1 tablespoon almond butter

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: gluten-free oats (1 cup), baking soda (1 teaspoon), cinnamon (1 teaspoon), sea salt (pinch), almond flakes (1 tablespoon), cocoa powder (1 tablespoon), and raisins (optional). In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: egg (1), almond butter (1 tablespoon) and vanilla extract (2 teaspoons).

2. Mix the Ingredients:

   • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

   • If you like your biscuits more moist, consider adding some overnight chia seeds to the mixture.

3. Shape the Biscuits:

   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Wet your hands to make it easier to form the mixture into balls. Take a portion of the dough, roll it into a ball, and then flatten it with your palm to shape the biscuits.

4. Bake the Biscuits:

   • Place the shaped biscuits on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Let them cool down before enjoying!

That's it!

Enjoy it!
