- 1 tsp baking powder helps the biscuits rise
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon for a warm, sweet flavor
- Pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances flavor
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or honey natural sweetness
- 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil adds moisture and richness
- 1 egg binds the ingredients together

Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
-
In a large bowl, combine:
-
2 cups whole wheat flour
-
1 cup oats
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
-
A pinch of salt
-
Stir everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Blend Wet Ingredients:
-
In another bowl, whisk together:
-
1/2 cup brown sugar or honey
-
1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
-
1 egg
-
1/3 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Mix thoroughly until the wet ingredients are well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
-
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring as you go. Mix until a dough begins to form. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
-
If the dough is too dry, add a splash of milk until it comes together. If it's too wet, add a little more flour.
-
Shape the Biscuits:
-
Scoop out a small amount of dough and roll it into a ball. Then, flatten it to about 1/4 inch thickness. You can shape the dough into small ovals, rectangles, or any shape you prefer.
-
Place the shaped biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
-
Bake the Biscuits:
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them toward the end to avoid overbaking.
-
Cool Before Serving:
-
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before serving or storing.
Tips for Success:
-
Add-ins: Feel free to experiment with different flavor combinations. Add chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts to personalize your biscuits.
-
Consistency: If you want your biscuits crunchier, flatten the dough a bit more. For a softer texture, shape the biscuits thicker.
-
Storage: These biscuits stay fresh for about 1 week at room temperature in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months and reheat as needed.
