I’ve adapted this recipe from one by Benjamina Ebuehi to include honey. I warn you – despite the healthy sounding ingredients – these craggy biscuits are extremely calorific and addictive.
Ingredients
Wet
100g tahini
2 tbsp water
60ml sunflower oil
45g thick honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
Dry
125g plain flour
120g sugar
130g chopped dates
75g jumbo oats
½ tsp salt
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Method
- Heat the oven to 180C (160C fan) or 350F/gas 4
- Line two large baking trays with greaseproof paper
- Put the wet ingredients in a bowl and give them a good stir
- Put the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and give them a good stir
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine to make a thick dough
- Divide into 12, form into balls, arrange on the baking trays and flatten slightly
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until well browned but the middle still soft
- Leave to cool for a few minutes
- Place on a wire rack to cool.

If I start with the big ones and eat as quickly as possible I can usually do 7 or 8
