Oat biscuits are a great snack to have on hand when you need a quick boost of energy. They are perfect for breakfast, tea time, or as a mid-day snack. These biscuits are made with simple ingredients and are easy to customize - you can add nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to the dough for extra flavor. Making your own snacks at home is a great way to control the quality and quantity of ingredients, and to avoid processed foods that may be high in sugar and unhealthy fats.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
3.	Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry mixture. Use your hands or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4.	Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together.
5.	On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut the dough into your desired shape using a cookie cutter or a cup.
6.	Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the biscuits on it.
7.	Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Oats are a great source of fiber, which can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Whole wheat flour is also rich in fiber and can help regulate blood sugar levels. These biscuits are made with unsalted butter instead of margarine or shortening, which can be high in trans fats.
