Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
175g unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup caster sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp honey
1 cup plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
300g dark chocolate, chopped
185g salted roasted peanuts

1 Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line 3 oven trays with baking paper. Put the rolled oats in a food processor and pulse until ground. Remove the oat flour from processor and set aside. Put butter and sugars in a processor, cover and pulse for 15 seconds or until well creamed.

2 Add the egg, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, honey, oat flour, plain flour and baking powder to the butter mixture. Pulse until the mixture forms a ball. Add the chopped dark chocolate and peanuts and pulse briefly to combine.

3 Roll the biscuit mixture into small balls (about the size of a walnut shell) and arrange on prepared trays. Lightly press down on each ball to flatten slightly. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden. Cool the biscuits on the trays for 5 minutes, then remove from the trays to a cooling rack.

These were quite yummy but not quite right. There was too much dough for my quite large food processor so it didnt mix well. I might do it in a mixer next time. The mix was quite crumbly, maybe a few less oats. I only used 200g of chocolate which was enough.The chocolate and peanut combo was yum.
