Quick Overview
- Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- Cooking Time: 10-12 minutes
- Difficulty: Easy
- Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 2.1 oz (60g) unsalted butter, melted (melt in 30 seconds)
- 2 fl oz (60ml) pure maple syrup (measure in 10 seconds)
- 1 large egg, beaten (beat in 5 seconds)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (add in 5 seconds)
- 4.2 oz (120g) almond flour (measure in 10 seconds)
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda (measure in 5 seconds)
- ¼ tsp fine salt (add in 3 seconds)
- 2.8 oz (80g) dark chocolate chips (add in 10 seconds)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4) and line a baking tray with baking parchment. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough. Use a spoon to form approximately 8-10 dough balls and arrange them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centre still appears soft. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking tray for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving & Leftovers
