This recipe is adapted from one on the back of the Rice Bubbles packet, minus the spice and using fresh mashed apple or pear. These biscuits are really filling and this version is a bit healthier with wholemeal flour. Its also a good recipe for kids who like cooking, as they can help roll and flatten the biscuits.

| 4. | Stir in the apple or pear, syrup and egg whites until well combined. It will look a bit curdled. |

| 8. | Roll the mixture into 5cm balls and place on the trays. Flatten each one slightly with the back of a fork. |

I think you probably could use quinoa. Let me know how you go with it.
Hi! I just realised I forgot to re-subscribe when your blog changed over. I’ve missed so many recipes! This is a great one. I wonder if I can use quinoa flour instead of wheat flour?
