Ingredients

  • 100g plain flour
  • 100g rolled porridge oats
  • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon golden syrup
  • 45g granulated sugar
  • 45g soft light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/350oF/180oC/160oC fan and line a baking tray with parchment paper if you are not using a non stick cookie sheet. To a bowl, add the flour, oats, bicarbonate soda and salt then set aside.
  • In a separate microwavable bowl, add the butter and syrup and melt in the microwave at 35 second increments until the butter melts. Once the butter melts, mix in both sugars and the vanilla extract. Pour the dry ingredients from the first bowl into the melted butter and mix until combined. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Take a small amount of the mixture (approximately a heaped tablespoon) and shape it into a ball using your hands. Place the ball on to the lined baking tray or a non stick cookie sheet and slightly press down on the biscuit. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up. Ensure there is space between all the biscuits as they will slightly spread. This recipe makes 12 biscuits. If you want the biscuits to be equal then each ball should weigh around 35g.
  • Bake for 12 mins or until golden brown. When the biscuits are removed from the oven, they will be soft, wait 10 minutes for them to slightly harden before removing them from the tray and placing them on a cooling rack to completely cool down.
