So this recipe started off as a decision to try out this lovely looking recipe from MamaCook. I weighed out the flour and then opened the margarine tub to realise it was pretty much empty. Boo.
Skip forward a few hours and margarine is back in the house. By now I’m in creative mode and the biscuits took on a life of their own! I’m a bit of a stickler for encouraging my small one to eat her veggies, so finding a courgette to hand, I decided to grate it in and then add some cheese for added yum factor. I’ll be honest I wasn’t expecting great things, but you know what, these have been a huge success, not only with the toddler girl but also with her Daddy!
Here’s how we did it:
Recipe:
100g plain flour
15g oats
70g margarine
1/2 grated courgette
15 g grated cheese
Measure it all out and then add a dash of milk to mix to a dough. My little one likes baking with me, so she rolled out the dough:
My little helper then advised on which cutters to use and helped me cut it all out:
We baked them at Gas Mark 5 for 15 minutes, you may need less depending on how thin your dough has been rolled (or not rolled in our case!). Here is the final result.
I’ making these tomorrow. They sound yummy and my veg dodging child loves biscuits & cheese so surely they’re going to be popular!!
Hope they went well Liz, someone on twitter has made them as an accompaniment to her main meal, looked pretty scrum!
Now I don’t have an oven… but if I did I’d make these for sure !
Goodness, no oven, not sure I know how to get around that. I shall just have to make you some 😉
I’ve just made these, I doubled up the quantities and the mixture was really sticky so we couldn’t use cutters, what have I done wrong??!!! The end was result still went down well though!
