Why These Are Better Than Most Shop-Bought Digestive Biscuits
Many supermarket digestive biscuits are made with refined flour, refined sugar and vegetable oils, and often contain a long list of added ingredients.
These homemade biscuits are made from simple pantry staples you can recognise. The oats, chia seeds and flaxseeds provide fibre, while the almond butter adds healthy fats that help make them more satisfying than many traditional biscuits.
They’re not just delicious—they’re made with ingredients that love you back.
Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
They also freeze brilliantly for up to 3 months. Simply thaw at room temperature whenever you fancy one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use crunchy almond butter?
Absolutely. It will give the biscuits a lovely crunchy texture.
Can I use whole rolled oats?
For the best texture, blend them first into oat flour.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes, simply use certified gluten-free oats.
Can I make them vegan?
This recipe hasn’t been tested with an egg replacement, so I can’t guarantee the same texture.
