If your sweet tooth is aching and you need to do something about it fast, you might want to try these Super Sweet, Super Sticky gluten-free biscuits that are going to quiet your cravings right down (Ssssh!). They are a sugar-free adaptation of this recipe: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/flourless-fudge-cookies-recipe, and the sweetness comes from a generous amount of honey... I won't make any claims about that being much better for you than white sugar, though.
SSSSH!
1 1/3 dl of unsweetened gluten-free cocoa powder (e.g. Van Houten)
250 g of honey
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons of pine nuts (other kinds of nuts should work just as well)
a pinch of salt
1. Heat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
2. Line the baking tray with baking paper.
3. Put all the ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. The resulting batter is pretty liquidy.
4. Form the biscuits by pouring heaped tablespoons of the batter on the baking tray. If you do that slowly and carefully enough, the batter will spread into nice, round biscuits (or pools of batter, rather). On my baking tray, there was enough space for 12 biscuits, and the remaining batter would probably have been enough for 3 more.
I used it to quiet an upset family member down.
5. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes.
6. Let the biscuits cool down for a bit on the baking tray, and use a sharp knife (e.g. a vegetable knife with a thin blade) to get the biscuits off the baking paper in one piece.
7. Enjoy the gooey sweetness!
