Quinoa & Chia Chocolate Biscuits




This cookies or biscuits ( I don't really know the difference between those 2) are into going into my favourite recipes! 

My boys loved them and my husband (who hates sweet stuff and chocolate) told me he would buy those cookies. So make this babies for the weekend to have as a healthy treat when the sweet craving hits in!

Ingredients:

1 cup of hazelnuts
1 cup of ground almonds
1 cup of quinoa
1/3 cup of honey or maple syrup or sweet freedom
1/4 cup of raisins or dates
3 tablespoons of cocoa or cacao. If you do it with cocoa make sure your cacao is 100 % cocoa: no sugar or dairy added! check ingredients)
2 tablespoons of chia
2 tablespoon of coconut oil (melted)

Place hazelnuts in a blender or food processor and blend until it becomes flour consistency. 

Add raisins or dates and blend until mushy. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend well.

Grab a bit of the mix and roll it with both hands then form cookie and place on a tray with non grease paper on it. 


Cook into a previously preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

I made 17 cookies so each cookie worked out at 98 calories. So depending how many you make the calories might vary. but in and around that!
