This recipe links to the post ‘To Dunk or Not To Dunk? That is the Question’.

These Date & Almond Biscuits are the comrades to a cuppa with no submersion taking place and rely on the fruit’s natural sweetness which is beautifully balanced by their fibre content to prevent spikes in blood sugar levels.

Ingredients

  • 200g ground almonds
