I love the free recipe books in supermarkets and today I came across this fantastic recipe for a Sweet Potato and Orange Cake. As it has no added refined sugar and used sweet potato it immediately jumped out at me and I knew I had to make it. As usual I didn’t have all the ingredients…

Little Lady and The Boy both love gingerbread biscuits made by a certain baby / child food company and I buy lots of bags and boxes of them. I’m currently attempting to try to save money wherever I can and realised that these biscuits (and similar snacks) are actually quite pricey so I wanted to try to make my own equivalent biscuits. These little smiley guys and gals are sugar free and took only 15 minutes from start to finish to make and both kids wolfed them down! I did plan to make them in more fun shapes than I did but my fabulous shaped cookie cutters haven’t arrived yet from Japan so I just used a little round cookie cutter today. You can make them in any shape or size you want but as my kids like the little round bagged biscuits I tried to emulate them as closely as I could. I hope you enjoy them as much as we all have!

I am proud that none of my recipes contain any added refined sugar (by this I mean the white or brown stuff you get in bags and spoon into things) but sometimes you just have to let your children have something naughty as a treat so I do try to find as healthy treats as I can for them. These recipes are great as none of them require baking and they are quite healthy as there is no added refined sugar (although some of their individual ingredients do contain sugar). They also all contain cocoa powder so are really popular as children think they are eating a proper chocolate treat. I hope you enjoy them!

I find the most successful recipes are usually the simplest ones. Todays MyMiniMeals Mates Monday recipe is from a lovely lady called Jude on my FB group who showed us all these delicious carrot and apple star biscuits and so far everyone who has made them has loved them. They are so easy to make and are great for a snack or dessert and freeze beautifully. They don’t contain any refined sugar but they do have some honey so aren’t suitable for under 1’s. You could remove the honey if you liked and I am sure they would be as yummy just not as sweet.

Here is the long awaited (!!!) sequel to my post “Sugar Free Biscuits – Part 1” which, after many sleepless nights, I cleverly titled Sugar Free Biscuits – Part 2.
I love making biscuits for my children and they love having one as a pre bedtime treat or as a snack during the day. Obviously none of us really want our children loaded up on sugar just before bed so these are perfect as they are sugar free and easy to make. Continue reading →
