Chocolate Digestives

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 35 mins | Quantity: 16 - 18 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (200g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (100g / 1 stick) vegan butter – melted
  • 1/2 packed cup (90g) light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground flax seeds
  • 2 teaspoons whole flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 90-100g vegan dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170 Fan / 180 C / 375 F / Gas 5 and line a large baking tray (or two smaller ones) with parchment or a silicon mat
  2. Put the oats into a food processor or blender and whizz - don't over whizz, you still want to see some oat flakes!
  3. Add the melted butter, ground and whole flax, cinnamon, baking soda and vanilla and whizz again until just blended together
  4. Tip out onto a piece of parchment (or silicon mat) and form into a ball
  5. Flatten then top with another piece of parchment and then roll the dough out between the two sheets to roughly 1 cm thick
  6. Use a 6.5 cm (2.5 inch) round cutter and place the cut biscuits on a lined baking tray.  Leave enough space between each biscuit to allow them to spread as they bake.
  7. Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes for a more chewy texture, 12-15 minutes for a firmer biscuit
  8. Allow to cool then spread a teaspoon of melted chocolate on top of each one, use a fork before the chocolate sets to make a pattern if desired
