Trust me, you are going to love every bite of these healthy biscuits and would love to try out the digestives biscuit recipe ever and ever again even after the lockdown!
As their name suggests, digestives were originally developed by two UK doctors to aid digestion.Ideally these cookies are called digestives because they use sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda, which is reportedly known for its antacid effect.
Additionally, these sweet meal biscuits use barley flour and oats. The secret to getting crispy, crunchy digestives lies in the cold butter and malt extracts or a semi liquid like honey. These extracts are added to the cookies to extract some of the starch from the flours. Starch requires a good amount of time for digestion.
In a typical healthy digestive biscuit, you will find coarse brown wheat flour, wholemeal, vegetable oil, malt extract, raising agents, and salt. These days, some brands are also trying to expand their reach to health freaks have started including oatmeal, milk powder or cultured skimmed milk, and dried whey. This is what I love in the digestives – so I have attempted making homemade whole wheat cookies with oatmeal.
