It seems like everyone is looking for that ultimate recipe – something sweet and salty but made using clean and healthy ingredients. Sound like a familiar search wish?

Top Irish model turned healthy chef Roz Purcell has your back with this delicious and nutritious coconut almond crunch biscuit recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 200g flaked almonds
  • 5 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • 6 tbsp honey/maple
  • 3 tbsp almond butter
  • Pinch sea salt

Method:

Preheat oven to 390°F/200°C

Sprinkle out the faked almonds on a lined baking tray and toast for 8 minutes until golden in color (toss intermittently for even results) -after the first 3 minutes, add in the desiccated coconut to toast also until browned.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine the toasted coconut and almond with sea salt.

In a small saucepan over medium heat add the almond butter and honey, stirring to combine until fully melted.

Bring the mix to a gentle boil, continuing to stir for 2-3 minutes. The mix will begin to lift from the bottom of the pan and become really thick like a heavy caramel - once this happens remove and poor over the coconut and almonds.

Working quickly, stir the mix into the dry ingredients covering it completely.

Grab sections and mold into a thick cookie shape.

Place on a tray and set to the freezer to set for 20-30 minutes.

Garnish with a drizzle and dip of dark chocolate.
