Nutritional benefits

Rolled oats provide fibre and complex carbohydrate, which keep you full for longer and smooth out blood sugar. These homemade biscuits, free of additives, are a more nourishing alternative to shop-bought biscuits for a snack.

Variations and substitutions

• With raisins or chocolate chips.
• Made with honey instead of sugar.
• Butter-free (nut butter).
• With mashed banana.

Storage and making ahead

Keep for 1 week in an airtight tin.
