Sugar free, no bake crunchie biscuits
August 4, 2015
Paul asked me if I could make him some sugar free crunchie biscuits and I found this recipe online. As usual, I’ve made some changes because of the ingredients I had on hand differed slightly. They don’t look as pretty as the originals but they are yummy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground quick oats
- 1 cup unground quick oats
- 50g ground walnuts
- 100g chopped raisins
- 50ml canola oil (if I had coconut oil I would definitely have used that rather)
- 6 tablespoons honey
Method
- Mix both cups of oats, walnuts and raisins together.
- In a pan or microwave, melt the oil and honey on low heat.
- Add liquid to dry ingredients and mix well.
- Spread into a greased tray and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Cut into squares (I only had a round tray so mine will be a bit non-squarish) and enjoy with a cuppa.

*Free from eggs, gluten, milk, sugar.
So its Pesach, that means no flour and since Paul is diabetic I cant use sugar either.
I found {this} recipe on a FB food forum and I have tweeked it a little to suit us.
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch of (over)ripe bananas
- 2 cups chopped walnuts (I bought walnuts in their shells, my kids said they are not REAL if they are already shelled, I dont have a nut cracker, I improvised with a heavy bottomed pan and went all HULK SMASH on the poor walnuts, it was fun!)
- 2 cups potato flour
- 1 cup chopped dates
- pinch of salt (I forgot about the salt, oh well)
Method
- Peel and mash the bananas.
- Chop up your shelled walnuts, I blitzed them in a small food processor.
- Pit your dates and cut or shred them into small pieces.
- Add bananas, potato flour, walnuts, dates and salt in a bowl.
- Mix until just combined.
- Place in an appropriate sized loaf tin.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180ÂșC
- Enjoy hot with butter slathered on!
