Could I use almonds instead?
Hi Naomi, sorry we haven’t tried this recipe with almonds so cannot guarantee if it will have the same results.
Made these today. Half I made with coconut & finger & the other half with choc chips. Both are delicious.
Ooh finger biscuit, was that for extra crunch 😉
If we activate the nuts by soaking them in water only and not dehydrating/oven them would the recipe still work ok with soaked nuts?
Hi there Zulfaa, you may have to add a touch of flour (either almond or buckwheat etc) to help absorb some of the water from the soaked nuts. We haven’t tried using soaked cashews, so, unfortunately, we cannot give you an exact recipe for that sorry. Just play around with it and see how they turn out 🙂
Hi Jordan, these biscuits are delicious! I ground the activated cashews slightly coarser than a flour and baked them until they were soft and chewy, just as we like them 🙂 And since my daughter has just had a baby, it’s a real pleasure to be able to feed her some gut-healthy cookies, knowing that I’m nourishing two generations at the same time!
These are great. I make them with Almonds and they are yum. Are these ok to freeze?
So Tina, do you use crushed almonds or?
Any suggestions for a suitable egg substitute?
Hi Angie, unfortunately, we haven’t made an egg-free version of this recipe.
