Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Oat Biscuits for Father's Day
August 14, 2017
A delicious alternative to the classic Chocolate Chip Cookie, using smashed Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate tablet instead of chocolate chips. This recipe also includes healthy oats - which give it a nice crisp texture. We like this recipe because it is not too sweet, but nicely balanced. If you prefer a biscuit that is even less sweet, use a smashed dark chocolate tablet, instead.
Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate Chip Oat Biscuits
- 125g butter, softened
- 125g castor sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125g porridge oats
- 150g plain flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 200g smashed salted caramel milk chocolate tablet (or plain chocolate - dark or milk. Sometimes, we use dark raspberry crush); or 1/2 - 1 cup of chocolate chips
- Set the oven on 180 degrees celcius (or 160 degrees celcius, if a fan oven).
- Cream butter and sugar in a bowl, until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Mix together.
- Add the oats. Mix.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together and then add it to the butter mixture. Combine.
- Stir in the salted caramel chocolate pieces.
- Put dessertspoonfuls of biscuit mixture on greased baking sheets. Allow for spreading. Flatten the biscuits, lightly, with a fork.
- Bake for 13 - 15 minutes, until risen and golden, but not brown.
- Briefly cool the biscuits on the baking tray, before transferring them to a wire rack to cool, further.
- The biscuits will keep for up to a week, in an air tight container. Makes about 25 biscuits.
