Free Healthy Recipe - Ginger and Molasses Biscuits

Dairy free, Low fat, Low GI, Low sugar

Here's a very easy biscuit to make. While your kids may like them, they're more likely to be a hit with women who enjoy a sweet treat but also want to boost their iron and calcium levels. Unlike refined sugar, molasses with its bittersweet robust flavour contains iron, calcium, copper and manganese, helping to boost energy levels in more ways than a simple hit of sugar can do.

Ingredients

2 tbsp omega spread

¹/3 cup molasses

1 tbsp organic honey

1¼ cups wholemeal self-raising flour

2½ tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan forced). Line a baking tray with non stick baking paper.

Combine the spread, molasses and honey in a saucepan over medium heat until spread has melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly.

Add flour, ginger and cinnamon to the saucepan and mix. Mixture will be stiff.

Place golf sized balls of mixture onto the baking tray and press down with a fork.

Cook for 8-10 minutes until golden.

Note: Omega Spread is a non hydrolysed blend of omega oils, suitable for baking. It's available from the refrigerated section of health food stores.
