Notes
Tip
These smell (and taste) wonderful just after coming out of the oven. A great healthy-ish biscuit alternative for lunchboxes.
Tip
Vary the fruit and coconut to suit your tastes, just make sure you use 1 cup total.
Tip
Make these gluten-free with gluten-free flour and replace rolled oats with gluten-free rice bubbles or cornflakes.
