Vegan Florentine Biscuits

Vegan Florentine Biscuits

Florentine Biscuits are the easiest biscuits to make and you can make them as fancy or as fun as you want them to be. These Florentines are deliciously simple, ready in 30 minutes, with a nutty flavour and a delicate, light crunch. Everyone loves these and they are gluten-free too! They are not your regular biscuits because they are halfway between a cookie and a candy.  Since store-bought Florentine biscuits are usually not vegan, you can make them yourself in a jiffy. Best of all, you only need 5 ingredients to make it.

Florentines are usually round, but to make it even easier I just spread them out on the tray and broke them into pieces. If you want them round use non-stick muffin pans or muffin papers or shape them round once you take it out from the pan. Oh, and these dainty biscuits make a lovely gift, tied up with a pretty ribbon for special occasions. xx
