Jam Drop Biscuits

Ingredients

• 185g vegan butter, softened
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup apple sauce
• 2 tbsp rice malt syrup
• ½ cup almond meal or flour
• 1 ¾ cup GF flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ cup jam

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 160℃. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. 
2. Cream together 185g butter and ½ cup coconut sugar. Add 1 ½ tsp vanilla, 2 tbsp rice malt syrup and ¼ cup apple sauce and mix until combined. 
3. Stir through ½ cup almond meal, 1 ¾ cup GF flour, ¼ cup coconut flour and ½ tsp baking powder until a soft dough forms. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to allow coconut flour to absorb the moisture. 
4. Roll dough into small balls, place onto baking tray and press down slightly with hands. Make 1cm hollow in the centre of each biscuit with fingertip, and spoon small amount of jam into each.
5. Bake for 18 – 20mins. Allow to cool completely before eating. Biscuits are best kept in the fridge in a sealed container.
