Oat Biscuit Recipe Ingredients
Below are the few ingredients needed for this recipe:
- Porridge Oats: I like to use Quaker Porridge Oats, but any brand is fine to use.
- Self-Raising Flour: Use self-raising flour.
- Light Brown Sugar: You can use light brown sugar; dark brown sugar is a good alternative. If you only have caster sugar, then you can use that too.
- Bicarbonate Of Soda: This helps the biscuits to spread out slightly whilst baking in the oven.
- Golden Syrup: You can use either golden syrup or honey. Check out this list of golden syrup alternatives.
- Margarine or Butter: You can use either salted or unsalted butter. I used Stork which has salt in it.
- Cinnamon (Optional): Adding cinnamon is optional, but it does take these biscuits to a whole new level!
