Honey and almond oat biscuits are a delightful treat that combines the nutty goodness of almonds with the wholesome flavor of oats. The addition of honey provides a natural sweetness that complements the rich buttery flavor. Perfect for an afternoon snack or a sweet treat with tea, these biscuits are both easy to make and delicious.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped. You can chop them by hand as well if you prefer.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the chopped almonds, all-purpose flour, oats, sugar, and baking soda until well combined.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, take it off the heat and stir in the honey until thoroughly combined.
Pour the melted butter and honey mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well until a cohesive dough forms. You may need to use your hands towards the end to ensure everything is well combined.
Take small portions of the dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon to form a biscuit shape.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your honey and almond oat biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
