Tip
These would make a nice treat for kids and a great way to sneak some extra veggies in! I have called them 'bakes' as they are halfway between a cookie and cake.
I used coconut sugar as it is a low-GI sugar alternative, helping fuel busy bodies for longer. For a dairy-free alternative, try replacing the butter with coconut oil. Substituting plain flour for wholemeal would also be a great choice.
NOTE: This recipe is not suitable for kids/adults with nut sensitivities/allergies.

Would this work with pecans?
Very easy and tasty. Fairly healthy treat for kids too. I also cooked a little longer then recommended.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree....for me, I like a slighlty crunchier biscuit, but for the little fella...I made them slightly softer
Very nice and tasty biscuit. Perfect of the lunch box. I put the back in the oven for an extra few minutes as I found them a little doughy in the middle after 15 minutes. Will definately be making again.
