Cooking steps for Oats Biscuits

  1. 1
    Oats biscuits are a yummy, wholesome snack with the goodness of oats blended with the indulgence of chocolate. They are fantastic both at tea time and when eating on the go; they are easy to prepare and are also very filling.
  2. 2
    In addition, you will need a pinch of salt, 125 gms of a dairy-free baking block or regular butter if you are using that instead, and 1 tablespoon of golden syrup. Gather all the ingredients: 125 gms of self-raising flour, 125 gms of dark or light brown sugar, 125 gms of porridge oats, and half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.
  3. 3
    To make it decadent, you could add as much as 125g of dark or milk chocolate to give a very rich flavour to the biscuits.
  4. 4
    Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F). The main point is to bake biscuits evenly and let them be in a lovely golden colour.
  5. 5
    Prepare your baking tray with parchment paper. This way, they will not stick, and it will also not be hard to clean. Put all the ingredients like self-raising flour, brown sugar, porridge oats, bicarbonate of soda, and also a little salt together into a large mixing bowl. Make sure you mix all of the above with a whisk. This is the point at which we need to get wet ingredients and put them into the dry mix.
  6. 6
    Melt the dairy-free baking block or butter with golden syrup over low heat in another bowl or a microwave-safe bowl by heating it for a few seconds at a time until completely melted.
  7. 7
    Then cool slightly and pour into the bowl with dry ingredients.
  8. 8
    Mix all together with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. It'll come together and be a bit sticky yet not hard to handle.
  9. 9
    If you are using chocolate, chop it into bits or chunks. Dark and milk chocolate will give rich intense flavour and creamy sweetness, respectively.
  10. 10
    Let this chopped chocolate be folded in dough so that it gets spread evenly through the dough. That would add a nice surprise to every morsel in the dish while perfecting the flavour.
  11. 11
    When your dough is ready, it's now that you will shape biscuits.
  12. 12
    Take a small portion of your dough and form it into a ball. It will almost be the size of a tablespoon. Now put them on your prepared baking tray, with enough spaces in between since they might spread out while baking.
  13. 13
    Flattening each ball using a bit of your back spoon or fingers will make them disc-shaped to make them bake evenly.
  14. 14
    Put the baking sheet in a preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden around the edges.
  15. 15
    It is prudent to be watching them near the end of their baking time since no two ovens are alike and you do not want to overbake. Once done, take the tray out of the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on the tray before putting them on the wire rack.
  16. 16
    This is the cooling time, during which biscuits will be able to set effectively and reach their right texture.
  17. 17
    As you cool the biscuits, the fragrance will fill your kitchen as everyone gets tempted to have a warm treat. Your oat biscuits will be chewy in the middle, with a slightly crispy edge, and you can't resist them.
  18. 18
    They are perfect to dip in a cup of tea or coffee, and these biscuits will go on the healthy list of things versus regular cookies.
  19. 19
    Pack any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
  20. 20
    These biscuits keep okay for a few days but get gobbled up within the first day or so! Share them with your friends or enjoy them at a family gathering, and you will have the comfort of oats and the sweetness of chocolate. So enjoy baking and relishing these tasty biscuits!

What are oats biscuits made of?

The main ingredients of the oats biscuits usually include rolled oats, flour (often whole wheat or all-purpose), sugar, butter, or oil, and sometimes other flavourings such as vanilla, cinnamon, or chocolate chips.

Most recipes for these biscuits manage a great balance of taste and nutrition, and the oats biscuits have become a favourite healthy snack.

Are oats biscuits healthy?

Yes, oat biscuits can be a healthy snack! Some oats abound in fiber, particularly beta-glucan which is known to help decrease cholesterol and regulate health regarding the heart. On top of that, they contain iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. Of course, the whole aspect of whether biscuits can be healthy depends on the ingredients. Using whole-grain flour, natural sweeteners, and healthy fats will make them even healthier. The key is moderation, more so in this recipe because it has added sugars or fats.

And then, whenever you're ready to treat your taste buds, just take them out of the freezer and thaw them to room temperature, or give them a few seconds in the microwave. That way, you are never far from a healthy snack!
