Notes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
