Help! My attempt at replicating biscuits was hideous - can anyone suggest a recipe based on ingredients?

[newmummy100]

My ultra fussy toddler likes a particular biscuit. I’ve tried to take the ingredients listed and make these at home but they tasted absolutely hideous! Is anyone clever enough to suggest a recipe based on:

Flour 38%
Grape Juice concentrate 25%
wholegrain flour 20%
sunflower oil 9%
oat flour 3%
cocoa powder 2%
vanilla extract
lemon juice
sodium bicarbonate

Thank you

Maybe give the name of the biscuit? Someone might have a close recipe already.

Try heating your grape juice. I suspect it has the consistency of syrup, to get the sweetness from it.

Annabel Karmel tends to use fruit juice to sweeten children's meals if you want to look at her recipes.

Deffo mix all the dry ingredients together first including bicarbonate. Was the biscuit piped or moulded or like a flat dollop?

There's a recipe here that uses grape juice instead of sugar. As a PP suggested, it reduces the juice first.

Thank you everyone. They are cocoa and vanilla biscuits. They are thin, flat biscuits in a Gruffalo shape.

I would just use some sugar or honey as sweetener instead of the grape juice. Look for a simple chocolate biscuit - Mary Berry's fork biscuits are lovely. Just replace about 2 tbsp flour with cocoa. You can add vanilla too.

I have a biscuit recipe that uses bicarb, and you dissolve it in a little bit of hot water, and add it to the mixture last of all before shaping, rather than adding it in with the dry ingredients. It's not the same recipe as you've got, at all, but that might be something to try,

How much bicarb are you using? A scant 1/2 tsp per cup of flour with 1 tsp creme of tartar makes baking soda. Your use of lemon and grape juice will need playing with to get right.

Too much bicarb is unpleasant.

This link above works well!

replace ingredients like for like:
butter to oil
honey to juice concentrate
cinnamon to coco powder
baking powder to baking soda

You need a gruffalo cookie cutter. That is probably the most important ingredient!
