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.
