Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats or quinoa flakes
  • 1 cup dessicated coconut
  • 1/2 cup linseed meal
  • 1/4 cup pea protein
  • 1/4 cup besan flour chickpea flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup caster sugar
  • 60 g salted butter cubed
  • 40 g coconut oil
  • 15 g olive oil
  • 2 tbsp treacle
  • 2 tbsp boiling water
  • 1 tsp bicarb soda

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 160C fan forced and line 2 trays with silicone paper.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients into a bowl and quick a quick mix just to combine.
  • In a heat proof bowl combine butter, olive oil, coconut oil and treacle. Place in the microwave for 40 seconds or until the mix has melted completely. Stir to mix.
  • Add the boiling water to the butter/oil mix and then immediately add the bicarb soda, stirring. The mix will bubble up, so once combined and starting to bubble pour into the dry ingredients.
  • Mix until combined. The mix should be slightly sticky and easily formed into balls without crumbling. If your mix is crumbly add a tsp or 2 of water and mix through. If your mix is too wet add some a handful of oats and wait a few minutes for the oats to soak up some of the moisture.
  • Roll dessert spoons worth of the mix into balls and place on the baking trays about 3cm apart.
  • Bake for 15-25 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray.

Notes

  • Besan flour is available form good supermarkets, online, health food shops, and Indian grocers.
  • Pea protein is available online or at health food shops.
  • You could also substitute 1cup oats/quinoa for 1 cup of my Simply Toasted Muesli (recipe here)
  • Coconut oil and linseed meal can be purchased from health shops, online or from most supermarkets. If you don’t have linseed meal use LSA (linseed, sunflower and almond) meal instead.
  • You can substitute all the flours for a 1 cup of good gluten free plain flour.
  • 115g of melted butter can substitute all the oils. To make this a vegan recipe just use a mix of olive, macadamia oil and coconut oil to the value of 115ml/g.
  • Don’t have treacle? Add any type of syrup you like, golden, maple, date, apple.
