So many wonderful Banting recipes come to the fore on Facebook and when I saw this biscuit recipe, I just couldn’t resist trying it out. It’s just what I feel like on cold wintery days. It’s Banting comfort food for me. The original recipe comes from www.thebantingchef.co.za so head over there for lots more amazing food suggestions.
Ingredients
Dry:
- 6 Tablespoons coconut flour (R8*)
- 2 Tablespoons of xylitol (R4*)
*Based on prices from Faithful to Nature
Wet:
- 1 egg (R2)
- 4 Tablespoons of butter -that’s just over 50g if you want to weigh it (R4)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla essence.
- Melt the butter and add to the egg.
Mix the coconut flour with the xylitol and add to the wet ingredients.- Mix well until you have a firm dough.
- This dough can be used to line a pie plate if you want to make a cheese cake or other Banting tart.
For our biscuit purposes, break bits off and roll them into balls.- Press down with a fork…and into the oven they go.
- Bake them in an oven preheated to 180C for 8-10 minutes.
You want them to come out nicely browned.- Allow them to cool on the baking tray.
Serve at teatime!

They are a great gift. Make a few batches, pop them in jars and give them away. Christmas is 5 months today, so it’s an idea to put in the back of your mind.
Ecclesiastes 8:15
So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.
Enjoy each day.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
