Almond or Cashew Biscuits

Almond or Cashew Biscuits Recipe

By Veegs

Ingredients

1¼ cups (150 g) whole wheat pastry flour or (156 g) all-purpose flour

⅓ cup (47 g) toasted whole cashews or (48 g) almonds (Use unsalted.)

½ teaspoon fine sea salt

1½ teaspoons baking powder

3 tablespoons (42 g) semi-solid coconut oil (the texture of softened butter)

3 tablespoons (48 g) natural smooth cashew butter or almond butter

½ cup (120 g) blended soft silken tofu or unsweetened plain vegan yogurt

Instructions

1Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C, or gas mark 7). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2Place the flour and nuts in a food processor. Pulse until the nuts are chopped: A few larger pieces are okay. Add the salt and baking powder and pulse a couple of times.

3Add the oil and nut butter and pulse just to combine. Add the blended tofu or yogurt, and pulse until a crumbly (but not dry) dough forms. Gather the dough on a piece of parchment and pat it together to shape into a 6-inch (15 cm) square.

4Cut into nine 2-inch (5 cm) square biscuits. Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown at the edges. Cool on a wire rack and serve.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
