Slimming world biscuit recipe

This recipe is delicious! Honestly i can eat most things as i am not a fussy eater but i have tried some of the slimming world cakes, muffins and deserts and i was like what the...??!! 

Then i came across this recipe. I altered it a smidgen but oh my they are like my favourite snacks, they do contain syns but you feel you are getting a real treat. Darren likes them too and he can be fussy with certain foods so thats a bonus. I really like the texture too and they are so quick to make. Takes around 1-2 mins to get everything in a bowl and mix together and spoon onto your baking tray! 

So lets get started!! This is for one person (following the slimming world guide lines)

you will need;

+ 1 egg
+ 35g plain oats
+ 2 tbsp of sweetner
+ 3 tsp of low calorie hot chocolate powder such as highlights or options
+ 1 tbsp of vanilla extract/ orange essence

This is the sweetner i used 

And this is the hot chocolate options powder i used

All you do is mix all the ingredients together and spoon onto a oven tray lined with greaseproof paper (they peel off so easily this way) and pop into a pre-heated oven of 190 degrees celcius which is around gas mark 5 i think for around 10-12 mins and thats it!!

so quick and simple and honestly gorgeous. In the list of ingredients above i said you could either use vanilla extract or an orange flavouring perhaps, i say that because when tasting the biscuit with the chocolate flavour i know it would taste amazing but not only that, vanilla extract is very expensive, a small bottle cost me nearly 5 pound in asda and that would only make 4 batches of biscuits, so the orange essence may be something to consider.

I made a double batch here because darren wanted some too. What i do is use a table spoon to spoon out the mixture and i round and flatten the mixture with the spoon to make them bigger and that way you get more biscuits which just seems like you are having more of a treat.

There is my portion in my little box ready to take out. They are lovely honestly but we all like different tastes, you never know unless you try :) a lovely healthier version of an oaty biscuit thanks to slimming world!!!

If any of you follow slimming world and would like to know the syn value then read on :)

If you are not using the 35g of oats as your healthy extra B then it's 6 syns for the oats, the options powder is 2syns as is the highlights, any other powder you will need to check online, so the rest of the ingredients are free.

So if you are using only your syns it would be 8 syns which is quite high considering you can have your favourite biscuits for maybe around the same syn value but at least try them once :) and if you are having the oats as your healthy extra then its only 2 syns!! now that is impressive and worthit don't you think.. think of all the naughty syns you could have! curly wurly's, even ice cream! FYI these biscuits are delicious with ice cream, be creative with the recipe, you could put orange rind in the mix to give it a zing or lemon!! just remember if you are adding dried fruit to syn it accordingly.
