Chocolate Digestives

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Chocolate Digestives
Baking Flaked Quinoa Flour Gluten-free Grains and Seeds Linseed Seeds Vegan

by The Cook and Him October 01, 2022

The Cook and Him have created the perfect accompaniment for anyone's cup of tea - delicious chocolate digestives that are vegan and gluten free thanks to the use of our Flaked Quinoa. And if you use 100% chocolate they're sugar free too!

Sam, the cook of The Cook and Him, tells us that these vegan and gluten free alternatives to the classic chocolate hobnob lasted so little time in her household that she had to make them four times before she could pin them down long enough to take the photos.

Makes 16-18 Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 2 cups (240g) Quinoa Flakes
  • 2 tbsp Linseed, Golden or Brown
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • Vanilla Extract
  • 50g Dark Chocolate
  • ¼ to ⅓ cup Cold Water

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4 and line a large baking tray (or two smaller ones) with parchment or a silicon mat
  2. Gently melt the coconut oil then set aside
  3. Put 1 cup of the quinoa flakes and all of the linseeds into a blender and whizz till you have what looks like flour
  4. Tip this into a large bowl along with the remaining 1 cup quinoa flakes, baking soda and cinnamon
  5. Stir the vanilla into the melted coconut oil then add this to the dry ingredients, stirring till everything is well coated.
  6. Add the cold water 1 tblsp at a time until you have a workable dough - you don't want it too wet or too crumbly as you need to roll the dough out
  7. If you want to keep these biscuits gluten free roll the dough out between 2 sheets of parchment to around 1/2 cm thick. Then you can make the biscuits whatever shape you fancy - cut into squares with a knife or use a shaped cutter
  8. Keep cutting and re-rolling till you've used all the dough, placing them onto the baking tray(s)
  9. Bake for 15 minutes, turning the tray halfway through baking. Leave to cool completely
  10. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a bain-marie then use a teaspoon to spread a little of the chocolate over each biscuit. You can leave plain or impress a fork into the chocolate to make stripes
  11. If you can't wait for the chocolate to set at room temp, but the biscuits in the fridge for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Wholemeal Spelt Pie with Zesty Creamed Greens

January 12, 2026

This pie of creamy, zesty greens encased in a crisp spelt crust, more like a very thin bread than a pastry, is perfect sliced and served with salad. The filling makes use of leftover lemon rind, finely sliced, by cooking it down until mild and soft but still full of flavour.
