Mary Berry Oatmeal Biscuits Recipe
If you love simple, crunchy and comforting biscuits, you will adore this Mary Berry Oatmeal Biscuits Recipe. These biscuits are lightly sweet, full of oats and perfect with tea or coffee.
Ingredients
- 100 g 1 cup rolled oats
- 100 g ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 75 g ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 100 g ¾ cup self-raising flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon optional
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This prevents the biscuits from sticking.
Mix Butter and Sugar
- Place softened butter and light brown sugar in a bowl. Beat together until smooth and creamy. This step makes the biscuits soft and sweet.
Add Egg and Vanilla
- Pour in the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully combined and creamy.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, combine oats, flour, salt and cinnamon. Stir gently to mix evenly.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Shape the Biscuits
- Spoon small amounts of dough onto the baking tray. Flatten slightly with a fork or your hand. Keep space between biscuits—they expand while baking.
Bake in Oven
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them—they bake quickly.
Cool the Biscuits
- Remove from the oven and leave on the tray for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm with tea or coffee or let them cool fully for a crunchy snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for a chewier texture or quick oats for softer biscuits.
- Add 50g chocolate chips for a sweet twist.
- Replace vanilla with almond extract for a nutty flavor.
- Sprinkle extra oats on top before baking for a rustic look.
- Make mini biscuits for bite-sized treats.
