Crisp crumbly crunchy unleavened baked sweet coconut scented, nutty almond and brown rice biscuit; Shortbread.

Succumb to temptation as your tastebuds flutter. And, release.

This dish will obliterate any belief that vegan food can’t be truly scrumptious.

Make this:

  • When you’re in the mood for an understated biscuit to dunk in that cuppa you’ve just brewed
  • When you’re a newb and needs to get your hands dirty with gluten-free baking
  • When you’ve got a Tiffin to rustle up and need a biscuit base to give your dish that extra unprocessed kick

Shortbread is a favourite of mine because it is handy to bring out when friends drop by for a cup of coffee. I made these in anticipation of an interview I am going to be giving to someone.

This biscuit is vegan and gluten-free.

What equipment to use

For this recipe, I suggest:

High-speed blender

Oven 

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
