OATS BISCUITS

For this recipe, we’ll need oats, whole wheat flour, jaggery for sweetness, milk (plant-based or dairy), cold-pressed melted coconut oil , and mixed seeds. You can make it your own by swapping out the oil for nut butter, and you can also add chopped nuts or even chocolate chips for extra flavor. Additionally, I’m adding optional cinnamon and nutmeg powder for extra taste. It’s a versatile recipe that you can easily customize to your liking.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup jaggery (or to taste)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or any other cold pressed oil)
  • 1/4 cup mixed seeds (such as flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 cup milk (any type of milk or plant-based milk alternative)
Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking Time:20-25 minutes

Recipe

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, jaggery, mixed seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  3. Add the melted coconut oil and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is well combined and forms a dough. If the dough seems too dry, you can add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time.
  4. Take small portions of the dough and shape them into round biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit. Flatten each biscuit slightly with the palm of your hand.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  6. Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Enjoy your healthy oat biscuits as a nutritious snack or with your favorite beverage.
