Blagdani su savršeno vrijeme da kuća zamiriše na nešto domaće, jednostavno i toplo. Ako imaš djecu ili jednostavno želiš uživati u slasticama bez grižnje savjesti, ovi zdravi prhki keksići bez šećera s narančom bit će ti savršeni. Lagano su slatki, mirisni i toliko jednostavni da ih možeš pripremiti i s mališanima. Idealni su za sve koji žele zdravije keksiće, bez rafiniranog šećera, s manje masnoće i s prirodnim sastojcima.
Sastojci (oko 20 keksića):
- 200 g brašna ( sam koristila pirovo tip 630)
→ može pirovo, ili kombinacija 100 g zobenog + 100 g pirovog tip 630 (za najprhkije keksiće) - 100 g hladnog maslaca
- 70–75 g praha datulja ( možeš koristiti za odrasle 60 g eritrita u prahu)
- 1 jaje
- naribana korica 2 naranče
- 1 žličica vanilije
- prstohvat soli
- 1 žlica maka (opcionalno)
- tamna ili bijela čokolada za ukras ( po želji ovisno o dobi djeteta)
Priprema:
- Pomiješaj brašno, prah datulja (ili eritrit) i sol.
- Dodaj hladan maslac i utisni ga prstima dok smjesa ne postane mrvičasta.
- Umiješaj jaje i vaniliju te kratko zamijesi dok ne dobiješ glatko tijesto.
- Umotaj tijesto u foliju i ohladi 20–30 minuta.
- Razvaljaj na željenu debljinu (vidi savjete ispod) i izreži oblike.
- Peci na 180°C oko 10–12 minuta (ovisno o debljini keksića).
- Ohladi ih do kraja – tek tada postaju prhki.
Savjeti:
- Što je tijesto tanje razvaljano, keksići će biti prhkiji i brže će se ispeći (oko 10 min).
- Deblji keksi trebaju 15–20 minuta i ostaju mekši. Prigodni i za manju djecu, nema rizika od gušenja jer se ne mrve.
- Prah datulja daje blago smećkastu boju i prirodniju slatkoću.
- Ako koristiš eritrit → 60 g je idealno za laganu slatkoću.
- Možeš ih umakati u tamnu ili bijelu čokoladu za dekoraciju.
- Od začina dodaj: cimet, kardamom, đumbir, klinčić ili božićnu mješavinu začina.
- Za posebno prhku strukturu koristi 100 g zobenog + 100 g pirovog tip 630.
Zašto su ovi keksići odlični i koliko traju?
- Bez rafiniranog šećera
- Aromatični i mirisni zahvaljujući narančinoj korici
- Jednostavni za pripremu s djecom
- Idealni za zdraviju blagdansku verziju klasičnih keksa
- Mogu stajati do 5 dana na sobnoj temperaturi u dobro zatvorenoj posudi
Zamjena za jaje:
- chia jaje (1 žlica chia sjemenki + 3 žlice vode)
- 2–3 žlice (biljnog) mlijeka
Ovi keksići su savršeni za blagdanske jutarnje čajeve, druženja s djecom ili kao zdravi slatki poklon. Miris naranče i prhka tekstura stvaraju baš onu toplu, domaću atmosferu koju svi volimo.

Healthy Sugar-Free Orange and Poppy Seed Shortbread Cookies
The holidays are the perfect time for your home to fill with the scent of something homemade, simple, and warm. If you have children or simply want to enjoy guilt-free treats, these healthy sugar-free orange shortbread cookies will be perfect for you. They are lightly sweet, fragrant, and so easy to make that you can prepare them with your little ones. They’re ideal for anyone looking for healthier cookies, without refined sugar, lower in fat, and made with natural ingredients.
Ingredients (about 20 cookies):
- 200 g flour (I used spelt flour type 630)
→ you can use spelt flour or a combination of 100 g oat flour + 100 g spelt type 630 (for the crispiest cookies) - 100 g cold butter
- 70–75 g date powder
→ or for adults, you can use 60 g powdered erythritol - 1 egg
- Grated zest of 2 oranges
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
- Dark or white chocolate for decorating (optional, depending on your child’s age)
Preparation:
- Mix together the flour, date powder (or erythritol), and salt.
- Add the cold butter and rub it in with your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Stir in the egg and vanilla, then briefly knead until you get a smooth dough.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for 20–30 minutes.
- Roll it out to your desired thickness (see tips below) and cut out shapes.
- Bake at 180°C for about 10–12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cookies).
- Let them cool completely – only then will they become crisp.
Tips:
- The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the cookies will be and the faster they will bake (around 10 minutes).
- Thicker cookies need 15–20 minutes and stay softer. They’re suitable for younger children as they don’t crumble, reducing choking risk.
- Date powder gives a slightly brownish color and a more natural sweetness.
- If you use erythritol → 60 g is ideal for mild sweetness.
- You can dip them in dark or white chocolate for decoration.
- Add spices such as: cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, or a festive spice mix.
- For an extra-crisp texture, use 100 g oat flour + 100 g spelt type 630.
Why these cookies are great and how long they last:
- Made without refined sugar
- Aromatic and fragrant thanks to the orange zest
- Easy to prepare with children
- A healthier holiday version of classic cookies
- Keep up to 5 days at room temperature in an airtight container
Egg substitutes:
- Chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds + 3 tbsp water)
- 2–3 tbsp plant-based milk
These cookies are perfect for cozy holiday morning teas, baking with children, or as a healthy homemade gift. The orange aroma and crisp texture create that warm, festive feeling we all love.
