Orange & Almond Oaties (Sugar free)

While having my cup of tea or hot cacao drink at night i realised i miss my dipping biscuits.... why haven't i tried to make some sugar free biscuits?? I opened the fridge and found a large orange needing eating or in its case cooking. I next rummaged through the cupboard of limited university student/college supplies and made my own recipe for some what i call my 'Orange and Almond Oaties!' :)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Oats
1 cup SR flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Bicarb soda
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1 egg lightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or light Olive oil)
1 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp grated orange rind
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

 Mix dry ingredients, orange rind and chopped almonds in a large bowel. Add together egg, oil, honey and orange juice and mix into dry ingredients. Roll into drops and lay onto an oven tray lined with baking paper and bake in moderate oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Watch out these brown fast!!

They are quite crisp these biscuits, next time i will try adding another egg (I only had one left!) and to add some more moisture i would love to try these with some dates in a food processor to make a sort of paste, orange and date sounds delicious in my opinion!!

Enjoy with a tea :) (or better yet a hot cacao!)
