Oaty Wholewheat Coconut Biscuit Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 2/3 cup each all-purpose and whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Work in 6 tablespoons diced cold butter. Stir in 3/4 cup buttermilk and knead a few times. Pat until 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface, fold into thirds and pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle; cut into 8 squares. Brush with buttermilk; sprinkle with salt and hemp hearts. Bake on a baking sheet at 425˚ F, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
• Sift the flour into a bowl. Mix in the baking powder, porridge oats and sugar.
• Melt the butter, syrup and milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave and stir.
• Add to the dry ingredients. Mix until the liquid covers all the oat mixture and until well combined.
• Spoon onto a baking tray and shape into rounds, leaving space between each biscuit as they will spread whilst cooking.
• Bake for 10-15 mins, or until golden brown. Leave to cool for 5 mins before removing from tray.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat the butter in a large bowl using an electric whisk or in a stand mixer until very soft. Beat in both sugars and the vanilla until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg until just combined. Sift in the flour and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Fold in 100g of the toasted coconut.
• Roll the dough into 14-16 balls (about 45g each) and arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, well spaced apart. Flatten each slightly using the palm of your hand and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Leave to cool on the sheet briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Break the chocolate into pieces and tip into a heatproof bowl, then melt in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, stirring until smooth. Dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then lay on a sheet of baking parchment and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut. Leave to set for about 30 mins.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Combine milk and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in coconut. Drop by 2 tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cream the butter and sugar together until well blended and smooth. Gradually beat in the banana, vanilla extract and egg. Add the zest. Mix well with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, oats, coconut, walnuts and sultanas or chocolate chips. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and mix thoroughly until a thick dough is formed. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Drop heaped tbsps onto the sheet, leaving a 5cm (2in) space around each one, and press down lightly. Bake for 15-20 mins until lightly browned. Cool.
