Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups (200g) ground almonds
• 2 tbsp arrowroot
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• pinch salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• zest of half an unwaxed orange
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• around 100g high-quality dark chocolate, melted

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine all the ingredients except the dark chocolate in a large bowl and mix well to combine.
• Using wet hands, form the dough into a thin, wide log (about 3 inches by 8 inches) on the parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool for about 20 minutes.
• Once cooled down a little, cut the two logs at an angle into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange these slices face-down on the baking tray, then bake for another 15-20 minutes, until golden and becoming nice and crunchy.
• Let them cool completely, then drizzle with or dip the ends into dark chocolate. Enjoy with a cup of tea!
