Choc Chippie Oat Biscuits

George and I made 2 batches of choc chippie oat biscuits, one was the traditional butter and sugar mixture with white flour, and the other was with coconut sugar, olivani and spelt flour. The pictures are as they turned out.

Interestingly the consistency of the latter mix was quite soft, as the olivani doesn't thicken or bulk up as you mix it.

The spelt flour and coconut sugar gives the biscuits the golden colour.

We happened to have at home that afternoon 3 teenage boys and asked their opinion of the 2 batches of biscuits, they all thought they would rather eat the darker of the 2 as they thought they looked healthier and smelt so divine. You could have knocked me over with a feather as I thought their memory bank would have stayed with what they knew.

The taste test was unanimous we all liked the coconut sugar, olivani and spelt biscuits best. The only problem we did have was that they were very crumbly. Next time I would add some coconut oil to bind them better.

We made 2 batches because George had to do some baking for a fundraising bake sale at school. A good result for all concerned. All biscuits got consumed very quickly.

Proves once again you eat with your eyes.
