Blackberry Streusel Biscuits

Soft, tender, and refined sugar-free biscuits that are bursting with juicy tangy blackberries and topped with a rich buttery cinnamony streusel. They're great for breakfast or any time of the day! Of course, these delicious biscuits can also be made with other fruits or frozen berries if fresh one ain't in season. If you use frozen berries, don’t thaw them.

Streusel	Biscuits
120 g Butter, softened 120 g Xylitol (or regular caster sugar) 180 g White spelt flour 1 tsp Cinnamon powder A pinch of salt	150 g Quark (use cottage cheese if you can't find Quark) 6 tbsp Milk 6 tbsp Oil (I used a combo of avocado and olive oil) 80 g Xylitol (or regular caster sugar) A pinch of salt 300 g White spelt flour 2 tsp Baking powder 250 g Blackberries (half if large and don't thaw if using frozen) 250 g Blackberry jam 1/2 tbsp Icing sugar for dusting

Place all the ingredients for the streusel in a bowl. Work everything into coarse crumbles with your fingers. Chill until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line one large baking tray with baking paper. For the biscuits, place the quark, milk, oil, xylitol, salt, flour and baking powder in a bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until well combined. The dough is soft and slightly sticky.
Divide the dough into 12 portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking tray and flatten to the size.
Top each dough with 4-5 small berries on top. Spoon some jam on the berries, then finish with the streusel.
Bake in the middle of hot oven for 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool briefly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar.
