“This is a good recipe!” I got told by my baby boy! As he took a big bite!
He’s been going on about cookies for days because of the Cookie Monster. So I dedicated yesterday to making cookies/biscuits.
A recipe where there’s not a lot of prep. Just combining, stirring, patting and baking. I was pleasantly surprised with the snap of the biscuit and its texture is crunchy yet crumbly. I have a whole tin full of sweet delights now! I think my Cookie Monster of a son will be happy and satisfied for some time!
INGREDIENTS
225g self-raising flour
200g porridge oats
170g sugar
225g butter/low fat spread
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp hot water
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
METHOD
• Preheat the oven to 180°c, line and grease a baking tray
• Mix the dry flour, oats and sugar in a large bowl
• Melt the butter and golden syrup on a low heat, once melted add the hot water followed by the bicarbonate of soda. Stir through, it will start to fizz and bubble
• Gently pour this into the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour in the oil and use your hands to combine everything
• Take a little of the biscuit mixture roll into a ball and pat into a disk of 4cm
Evenly lay them on the tray as they will expand in width in the oven
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown
Let them rest for a while on the tray as they will be soft and then transfer onto a cooling rack
• Repeat for the rest of the mixture
Once done, make a cup of tea! You’ve earned a well deserved break and don’t forget the biscuits!
Ha, is he old enough to know that cookies are a sometime treat?
Love oaty biscuits, whether savoury or sweet. My partner makes a great version with coconut as well as oats, they’re so buttery and good, I love the look of this classic version too 🙂
Thank you! Yes he’s nearly 3 and I will hopefully have control of the tin! Lol 😉
Coconut with oats! Yummy 🙂
Good age, bet he keeps you busy 😉
Really love this. I also have a boy who likes biscuits (even if he’s all grown up!)
Thank you! That’s good to know. So I’ll be baking biscuits for many more years to come yay! 🙂
These look great, Dimple! I don’t bake very often; can you tell me what golden syrup is? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! It’s a sugar syrup but you can substitute with honey or maple syrup 🙂
Oh, thanks 🙂
Sounds yummy! ❤ I haven't tried oat cookies or biscuits. I love cookies, too. And I love Cookie Monster. 😀
Thank you Jhuls! I think the ratio of oats to flour was good as you get a balanced texture 🙂 now time to share them out before me and my little one easy them all lol! 😉
Haha! Keep something for the little one and for you. Or you might end up making another batch. 😀
They look fab, I want to be able to pick them up off the screen!! X

Lucky cookie monster to have a WHOLE tin of these, Dimple! Do tell me what the equivalent of porridge oats and golden syrup is in the States. Looks delicious. Warmly, Shanna
These look delicious! Can’t remember the last time I had oat biscuits…I must have some soon!
Thank you Ada! I’ve distributed half already and plan to make some more! They are going down a treat! 🙂
Yum I love oat biscuits and any biscuit with golden syrup in it is a good one in my book!
Thank you! My sister in law today said they tasted just like shop bought ones.. so I was happy! Lol. First time I made them and conceived this recipe. Definitely will be making them again and golden syrup is oh so good! 🙂
what happens if you leave the oil out .
Not as crunchy…
Looks yummy!!! A great treat to your taste buds and healthy too.. 🙂
Thank you Anjali! 🙂
Hey Dimple, this recipe sure looks enticing, more so because it has no eggs in it. I’m def trying it soon.
Thank you Namrata. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do x
These sound great!
They were 😦 time to make another batch 🙂
These do look good, Dimple. If your little Cookie Monster tires of them, you can send them to me. I can assure you none will go to waste. 🙂
Aww Thanks John! The Cookie Monster polished them off. But a new batch is soon to follow! 🙂
I saw this recipe yesterday and immediately tried it. They turned out great – crunchy and not too sweet. The family loves them. I bet I´ll have to make them more often!
