Oaty Nut & Seed Biscuits


Don't let the words "health" and "seed" put you off - these biscuits are yummy!  They're jam packed with good things like oats, seeds and dark chocolate but very easy to make and ideal to take in the lunchbox.    It was fun to use our own homemade sultanas in these too from dehydrating some of our grapes earlier in the year.

Ingredients:
200 grams (7 oz) of butter
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla essence
2 cups of rolled oats
1 and a half cups of wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of dark chocolate chips
1 cup dried fruit (I used apricots and sultanas)
1/2 cup of ground almonds
1/2 cup of seeds (I used half sunflower and half pumpkin)
1/4 cup of chia seeds
1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnut, almond, brazil etc or a combination thereof)

Method:
1. Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove.
2. Put the butter in a large bowl and add the peanut butter, combine the two.
3. Add the salt, sugars, eggs and vanilla essence and mix.
4. Add the flour and baking soda and combine.
5. Lastly mix in the oats, seeds, dried fruit, ground almonds and chocolate chips and mix together.
6. Roll into balls and place on a greased baking tray. Press balls lightly with a fork to flatten.
7. Bake at 180C (350F) for about 15 minutes.
