These biscuits are not only sugar free, they are also gluten free, dairy free, and if you want, they can be nut free. Super easy to make (took me 5 mins), and the kids LOVED them. Perfect for the lunch box!
As a connoisseur of all things sugary and fatty, I can guarantee these are delicious. The lime juice just makes it extra special 😀
Inspired by a recipe from Sugar Free Kids
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup pitted dates (I used Medjool)
1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut
1/2 cup Oats (I used Gluten Free Porridge by Planet Organic)
1/2 cup Ground Almonds (you can use sesame seeds to be nut free)
3 TBSP Coconut Oil (you can use butter instead)
Juice of a lime (the original recipe called for Orange juice but lime was all I had and it made it AMAZING)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius.
Add the pitted dates, coconut, oats and almond meal to a food processor. Process until texture is crumb like.
Add the coconut oil and orange juice. Process until it comes together.
Roll into small balls, and flatten with the palm of your hand. When flattened, mine were about 5cms in diameter.
Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes.
I’m always looking for tasty and healthy cookies to bake with my son. These sound perfect for the next batch.

So worth it Luisa, it’s a pain to start with because I didn’t have the ingredients, but once stocked, I haven’t looked back 😀
Wow, these look so easy! Thanks for inspiring me to do more baking for the school lunch boxes! Congratulations on linking to your first link party too!! Thanks for sharing with the #BlogFair Hope you can come back again next week!
