These traditional oat biscuits have a perfect balance of sweetness and nuttiness. With a satisfying crunch on the outside and slight chewiness inside, they're ideal with tea or coffee. The wholemeal flour and oats provide fiber, making them a nutritious alternative to commercial biscuits.

1.

When using honey instead of sugar in this recipe, you might also want to:
- Reduce any added milk (only add if absolutely necessary)
- Consider adding an extra tablespoon of flour if the dough seems too sticky
- Lower the oven temperature by about 5°C as honey can cause baked goods to brown faster5.
