These little vegan treats have a lovely chewy texture which only improves after a couple of days in an airtight container. The chances that they will last that long, however, are slim.
You can omit the chocolate for a plainer kind of biscuit but if you are going to have a treat you may as well cover them in chocolate!
Pre-heat the oven to 160°C.
In a large mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients and set aside.
In a small saucepan gently melt the agave syrup and vegan butter together. Mix the baking soda with the boiling water and then add to the butter and syrup. Whisk to combine and then add to the dry ingredients. Mix well and pull together into a ball. Roll into 12 balls and place on 2 baking trays. Chill for 30 minutes.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely before spooning over the melted chocolate. Allow to set before eating.

This is such a versatile way of jazzing up vegetables on the BBQ. I used aubergines and king oyster mushrooms, but you could also use sweet potatoes, squash or red onions.

This is a lovely teatime treat which kids and adults alike will love. It has very few ingredients and is super easy to pull together at the last minute. You can replace the puffed spelt with unsweetened puffed rice if you want to make it gluten free.
