Homemade Hobnobs Recipe
Time to ditch the store-bought biscuits and make this homemade hobnobs recipe instead. These oaty biscuits take the classic, crunchy texture of a traditional Hobnob and give it a fresh upgrade with simple, healthier ingredients. Perfectly golden and dipped in rich dark chocolate, they’re the ultimate companion for your next cup of tea.
Ingredients
- 100g porridge oats (see notes)
- 30g ground oats/oat flour (see notes)
- 50g ground almonds (see notes)
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 80ml coconut oil/butter melted
- 80ml maple syrup
- 70g g dark chocolate (see notes)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan/350F
- In a bowl, mix together that oats, oat flour, ground almonds and salt.
- Pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup.
- Scoop onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and shape into equal sized biscuits.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes. Leave to cool completely before adding the chocolate.
- Break up the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat-proof bowl. Melt in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method).
- Flip the biscuits (so the bottom is facing up) and spread the chocolate on top. Leave to set.
Notes
Use gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free
I make my own oat flour by blending oats into a fine flour in a high-speed blender.
Ground almonds, not almond flour. I haven't tried using almond flour to make this recipe as it's difficult to get hold of in the UK. I can't say whether almond flour would work the same.
You can leave out the chocolate if you prefer, but I would highly recommend using it ;)
