Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g Unsalted butter
- 50 g Granulated erythritol
- 175 g Whole wheat flour
- 3 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 50 g Cornflakes
- 100 g Dark chocolate (sugar-free, melted)
- 12 pieces Walnut halves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated erythritol until smooth and well combined.
Sift in the cocoa powder and whole wheat flour, then mix gently to form a dough.
Fold in the cornflakes carefully to ensure they are evenly distributed without crushing them completely.
Take tablespoons of the mixture and shape them into small balls, then place them onto the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each biscuit.
Flatten each ball slightly with your hand or a spoon. Make a small indent in the center of each biscuit.
Bake the biscuits for 15 minutes or until they are firm to the touch.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the biscuits are cooled, top each with a small dollop of the melted sugar-free dark chocolate and press a walnut half into it.
Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
