if you're looking for healthy snacks, digestive biscuits are some of the best things you can opt for. Not only can they be made at home within a few minutes but they can also be made without flour, sugar or any added sweeteners. Here's a recipe for an easy low-calorie digestive biscuit which you can eat all summer!
– 1 cup whole wheat flour – 1/2 cup oat flour – 1/4 cup coconut flour – 1/4 cup granulated stevia – 1/2 teaspoon baking powder – 1/4 teaspoon baking soda – Pinch of salt – 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (as a butter substitute) – 3-4 tablespoons cold water – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together to form a dough. Be careful not to add too much water.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into biscuit shapes. You can make them round or use any other shape you prefer.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Cool before serving.
