Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole grain oatmeal or adding a pinch of salt to the mixture.

If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the dough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use quick oats instead of traditional oatmeal?
Yes, you can use quick oats to save time, but they will yield a slightly different texture. Traditional oats provide a heartier biscuit, while quick oats may result in a softer biscuit. Adjust the liquid slightly if needed.
What can I substitute for milk in this recipe?
You can use any non-dairy milk, such as almond or soy milk, as a substitute for regular milk. This is particularly helpful for those with lactose intolerance. Just ensure the non-dairy milk is unsweetened to maintain the flavor balance.
How can I make these biscuits healthier?
To make oatmeal biscuits healthier, consider reducing the amount of butter or substituting it with applesauce or coconut oil. Additionally, you can add in seeds or nuts for added nutrition, or use whole grain flour to increase fiber content.
