Crunchy oat biscuits are my version of a popular well known brand of biscuits. They are perfect for baking in bulk and freezing to keep you in good supply for the weeks ahead.

Ingredients:

150g butter at room temperature
150g Demerara sugar
100g runny honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking powder
200g oats

Method:

Pre-heat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 4). Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, flour and oats, mixing well to combine.

Place a biscuit cutter on the baking tray and spoon some of the oat mixture into it, flattening with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form a biscuit about 7mm thick.

Repeat with the remainder of the mixture, leaving a space of 2 to 3cm between each biscuit.

Bake in batches in the centre of your pre-heated oven until the biscuits are just starting to turn golden at the edges (this will take around 10 minutes but check regularly to avoid over-cooking).

Leave the cooked biscuits on the baking tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
