Delicious and Healthy Oats Biscuits for Weight Loss
Ingredients
To make these wholesome oats biscuits for weight loss, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Oven and Baking Tray
Preheat your oven to 180°C. To prevent the biscuits from sticking, line the baking tray with either parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2: Mixing the Dry Ingredients
Take a large mixing bowl and add the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if desired), and a pinch of salt. Thoroughly mix the dry ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Mixing the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Ensure that the wet ingredients are well mixed and have a smooth consistency.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Place the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until all the ingredients are fully mixed. The resulting dough should be slightly sticky and hold together well.
Step 5: Shaping the Biscuits
Take a small portion of the dough, about a tablespoonful, and roll it between your palms to form a rolled-up ball. Place the rolled-up dough balls on the baking tray and slightly flatten them with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Repeat this process until all the dough has been used, leaving a small gap between each biscuit to allow for spreading while baking.
Step 6: Baking the Biscuits
Carefully place the baking tray with the shaped biscuits into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits turn a golden-brown colour around the edges. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-browning.
Step 7: Cooling and Storing
Once these oats biscuits for weight loss are baked, remove them from the oven. Allow the biscuits to cool down for a few minutes. For storing, place the oat biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to one week. If desired, you can also freeze the biscuits for longer storage.
