Biscuit Base Recipe

Biscuit Base Recipe


I eat quite often during the day (and night) due to having gastric bypass and trying to get enough nutrients in. This biscuit recipe is a staple in my house and allows for you to vary what you add to it.

Ingredients

Base Recipe
1 3/4 C Wholemeal Self Raising Flour
2 Lge Free Range Eggs
1/3 C LSA & Flaxseed added.
1/2 C Coconut Sugar
2 Tbs Maple Syrup or Rice Malt Syrup
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
180g Melted Butter (you may need more depending on what else you add)

Additives:
Chocolate:  Add 1/2 C Cacao powder, 2Tbs Maca powder & dark chocolate chips
Fruit: Add 3/4 C Mixed Berry & Chia jam, 1/2 C dehydrated blueberries, citrus zest, 1/2 C almond flakes.
Fruit & Nut: Add 3/4 C Cranberries & 3/4 C nut of your choice (pecan is lovely)
Nut: Add up to a cup of nut/s of your choice.
Citrus: Add 2 Tbs fruit juice (orange, lemon), zest and almond flakes.

Place all ingredients in a blender with a non sharp plate attachment and blend until combined.

If you mixture looks a bit dry once you've mixed your additives in, add some more melted butter.
Either roll in to balls or blob mixture on to baking paper covered tray and cooked for 20 mins at 160 degrees.

Once mixed, fold the blueberries in.  Pour ...

Additives are in everything!! Now that the blinkers are off as far as what food my family and I consume I've become shocked at just how many additives are foods that you wouldn't expect there to be.   I'm not becoming fanatical about all of this (some may disagree) but really it's bullshit that we as consumers aren't in control at all.  Personally I started looking in to petro chemicals etc years ago but more exposure is needed to help raise peoples awareness. Life is so busy these days and convenience plays a huge role in the choices we make. Until recently I struggled to work out what to cook for tea and it became a tiresome affair with no help what so ever from my family members.  I'd ask 'What do you want for tea?' and the responses I got went along the lines of; 'I dunno', 'What evers goin' and even 'Don't worry about me'  (that is my hubby to a 'tea').  We even joked about creating frozen meals called ...
