Ingredients
- ½ cup hemp seeds 75g, shelled. Also called hemp hearts
- ½ cup sesame seeds 75g
- 1.5 cups desiccated coconut 120g, also called shredded coconut
- 1 egg large
- ⅓ cup allulose for softer cookies, or use erythritol for crispy cookies
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- ¼ cup unsalted butter 60g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
Make The Nut Free Flour
- Add the hemp and sesame seeds to a non-stick frying pan. Toast for about 5 minutes on a low / medium heat, stirring a couple of times, until golden. Set aside to cool.
- Add the desiccated coconut to the pan and toast for 4 - 5 minutes on a low / medium heat until golden, stirring a couple of times. Allow to cool.
- Add the hemp and sesame seeds to a high speed blender like a Vitamix and blend to a fine consistency.
Make The Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 340F / 170C (electric) or 300F / 150C (fan assisted) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Add the hemp and sesame flour and the desiccated coconut to a large mixing bowl. Add the egg and salt and stir to combine.
- Melt the butter and allulose in a saucepan. Add the vanilla and the bicarbarbonate of soda and stir so it foams. Remove from the heat.
- Add the butter mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients. Stir until a cookie dough forms. Taste and adjust sweetener if required.
- Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking tray, leaving plenty of space between the cookies. Flatten the dough into discs and shape the edges with your fingers to they are smooth and round.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes or until golden. Then, let them cool fully so they can firm up.
Notes
Net carbs: 2.3g per cookie. Makes 9 cookies
- Use shelled hemp seeds and not hemp hearts with a casing
- The mix will feel quite wet. It firms up once baked and cooled
- Adding the bicarb to the butter mix is a crucial step to get these Anzac biscuits to have the right texture. Chewy but a little crisp too.
