**Pre-heat your oven to 175ºC while you
prepare the biscuit mix.
- Place all dry ingredients – oats, sunflower
seeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon powder,
cardamon powder and sea salt – into a
large mixing bowl. - Prepare the dates: Take the pits out of the
dates and place the dates in the blender.
Cover them in hot water and let soften for
3-4 minutes. Once dates are soft, blend for
1-2 minutes until smooth. (It’s fine to leave
some chunks!) Add the date purée to the
dry mix of oats and seeds. - Now melt the ghee, butter or coconut oil,
and stir into the dry mix with the dates. - Add vanilla essence and stir with a
wooden spoon or clean hands until the
wet and dry ingredients have mixed well
together and you’re happy with the
consistency. - Take some melted ghee or coconut oil
and oil the baking tray or use a sheet of
baking paper. - Take a small piece of biscuit mix and roll
into a ball in your hands then flatten with
the palms of your hand to create a circular
biscuit shape. - Place your tray of biscuits in the oven and
bake for about 35 minutes or until golden
brown. - Take the biscuits out once they’re done
and let them cool before stacking them in
your favourite biscuit jar or container!
*Note: Organic whole food ingredients can
often vary according to the season and
where they were grown. Always use your
intuition in the kitchen to gauge the right
consistency and texture and don’t be afraid
to add a little more of something if you feel
the recipe calls for it. This is the fun part
where you are able to use your creativity!
Enjoy!
