Make these chocolate hazelnut biscuits with just five ingredients. Very simple to make, you can whip up a batch of deliciously crunchy, naturally gluten-free biscuits in no time.

Chocolate hazelnut biscuit ingredients

I should have called these five-ingredient biscuits! Here’s what you need to make them:

• Buckwheat flour: Adds a warm, nutty flavour to these biscuits. If you’re following a gluten-free diet make sure you use gluten-free buckwheat flour. Did you know that it’s super easy to make your own buckwheat flour? Here’s my recipe for homemade buckwheat flour.
• Cocoa powder: For the chocolatey part!
• Smooth hazelnut butter: Hazelnut is a classic flavour pairing with chocolate, but you can use any nut butter of your choice.
• Maple syrup: Use pure maple syrup, not maple flavoured syrup. Honey works too.
• Sea salt: Don’t forget this as it enhances the other flavours.

How to make chocolate hazelnut biscuits

Before you get started, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line a large baking tray with plastic-free baking parchment. Then follow these three simple steps:

1. Make the dough: Place the buckwheat flour, cocoa powder, hazelnut butter, maple syrup and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine.
2. Roll out the dough and cut the biscuits: Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 3mm thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm, then cut out the biscuits using a heart-shaped cookie cutter and place on the prepared tray.
3. Bake: Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

That’s it! Crunchy, crumbly cookies that are perfect dipped into homemade chocolate mousse.
