Instructions
-
Roasting the Oats and Coconut: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the quick-cooking oats and shredded coconut on a baking sheet and roast them for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
-
Creaming the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, caster sugar, and dark brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will incorporate air, ensuring your biscuits are light and tender.
-
Incorporating the Eggs: Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and gradually add them to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
-
Adding Milk and Vanilla: Pour in the milk and vanilla essence, mixing until the ingredients are well combined, creating a smooth batter.
-
Mixing Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
-
Folding in Roasted Ingredients: Once the dough is formed, fold in the roasted oats and coconut, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
-
Shaping and Baking: Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture onto greased baking sheets, allowing space between each for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Cooling and Storing: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Enjoy these delightful Oaty Coconut Biscuits as a snack or with your favorite beverage!
