Ingredients
 
 

For the digestives

  • 110g oat flour*
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp brown or white sugar**
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup***
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp almond milk

For the topping

  • 100g dark chocolate
  • 45g almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan.
  • Mix the oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl, then pour in the oil, milk and maple syrup. Mix to create a dough (if the dough is too soft, place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes).
  • Roll out between 2 sheets of baking paper, then use a round cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits.
  • Arrange on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool completely.
  • In the meantime dry toast the almonds in a pan for a few minutes until they brown sightly. Set to one side to cool.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave, then fold in the toasted almonds until fully coated.
  • Once the biscuits have cooled, top each with some of the almond chocolate mixture, then place in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  • Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.

Notes

* Oats blended into a fine flour in a high-speed blender. Use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free recipe.
** Any granulated sweetener will work. 
*** Other liquid sweeteners like honey, agave, etc. will work.
