FLORENTINES DESSERT RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180c.
• In a bowl, sieve together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add 1 cup of the oatmeal and mix.
• In a blender, process the white and brown sugars, along with remaining ¼ cup of the oatmeal, until fine.
• In a large bowl using hand whisk or food mixer, blend butter and maple syrup. Then add the blended oatmeal/sugar mixture in two lots until blended. Add flax egg and vanilla, mix for another minute.
• Incorporate the dry ingredients in two lots until thoroughly mixed, then, using a wooden spoon, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts. The mixture will be pretty stiff at this point.
• Roll the mixture into balls, you can make them as large or as small as you like, I like to make them slightly smaller than golf balls. Place them onto a lined baking sheet and flatten them down. They won’t spread out much during baking, so again you can choose to make them as chunky or flat as you want.
• Bake for between 10-12 minutes or until just turning light golden. Don’t overbake!Cool on a wire rack, then eat!
