Wholemeal Honey Oats Sesame Biscuits

Had a packet of Prima wholemeal flour which my sister brought me from Singapore couple of months ago. Didn't know what to do with it until I came across a recipe and thus after manipulating a little here and there I concocted this biscuits. Funnily, my girls who didn't like oats loved this biscuits and thus this is another way of feeding them fiber.

Ingredients:
(A)
60g Quaker Instant Oats (blender it)
40g Quaker Instant Oats
30g White Sesame Seeds or other nuts (optional)
150g Prima Wholemeal Flour
1 tsp baking powder

(B) 100g butter, 80g sugar, 50g honey

Method:
1. Mix everything in (A) together in a big mixing bowl.
2. Put (B) in a small saucepan and on medium-low heat cook till sugar nearly dissolve. Keep stirring otherwise you might burn the mixture.
3. Pour everything from (2) into (1) and mix well with a fork or your hands if the mixture is not too hot.
4. Clench the dough in your hand till it becomes a ball. Flatten this ball on a lined tray and use your fingers to press it into thin flat round piece. Tidy the circumference of this dough with your fingers by pushing it toward the middle.
5. Bake at 170C – 175C for 15 – 20 minutes.

Notes:

Once out of oven just leave the biscuits to cool in its original tray for 15 minutes as the biscuit is very soft and fragile. It can fall apart easily when warm. When cooled it's crunchy and just a little chewy with nice honey butter taste.

Hi Florence, I have just made your cookies and they are delicious! We eat mainly organic produce at home here in England and I have been looking for a recipe where I can use the wholemeal flour and organic ingredients to create what is actually quite a healthy biscuit. I used ground up organic nuts instead of sesame, and demerera sugar. Your blog is fab, keep up the great work. best Wishes, Ali, Hull, United Kingdom.
