Ginger, Goji & Wattleseed Shortbread
We are never short of blown away by Kat and the amazing creations she takes along to some of our Sydney retailers. Her recent recipe is no different. Here she combines dried fruits and nuts with superfoods and native wattle seeds to create a glorious afternoon snack!
This recipe is very forgiving and loves experimentation! You can try coconut flour or buckwheat flour in the place of Buckinis and experiment with different dried berries/fruits and spices and then adjust the coconut butter or regular organic butter as required.
