Wholemeal chocolate-coated biscuits

These are fairly 'healthy' biscuits and are really tasty.


Makes about 18 biscuits

75g butter
100g demarara sugar
1 egg
25g quinoa flakes (or wheatgerm, or any other tiny cereal flakes)
125g wholemeal self-raising flour
60g plain self-raising flour

150g chocolate for the coating

1. Beat the butter and sugar with a whisk until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat well. Stir in the quinoa flakes (or wheat germ) and flours. Bring the mixture together with your hands.

2. Make little balls of mixture and place onto prepared baking trays. Flatten the balls with the back of a fork.

3. Bake in a preheated oven (180C) for 15-20 min until golden. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.


4. Once the biscuits are cold, melt the chocolate (bain-marie) and dip the biscuits into the chocolate.

5. Leave to cool upside-down onto the baking sheets and you can make some drawings onto the chocolate coating.


If like me you have some chocolate left, you can drop some onto a baking sheet and top it with various nuts, it will make fantastic treats!
