Chocolate Orange Digestives

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Spelt Flour

1 1/2 Oats

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

200g Vegan Butter

150g Maple Syrup

1 cup Dark Chocolate

Juice of one Orange

Cocktail Stick

 

How to:

Place the oats, spelt flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt to a food processor and blitz until they are coarse.

Add the butter and pulse bend until combined.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl add the maple syrup and gently work it into the mixture until you have a dough.

Place the dough in the fridge and for an hour.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Sprinkle some flour on the work surface to prevent sticking.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, using a cutter about the size of a digestive biscuit, cut out circles.

Bake the biscuits for 15 minutes until they’re golden brown.

Meanwhile melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl  over a pan of boiling water. Once the chocolate is melted sit through the juice of one orange and mix well.

Remove the biscuits from the oven transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

When the biscuits are cool dip the flat side in chocolate and with a cocktail stick score the top in a hatched pattern.

Place in the fridge to set

Enjoy 🙂
