Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- ½ cup Rolled Oats
- ⅓ cup Sugar brown
- ¼ cup Coconut dried
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 ½ tsp Salt
Chocolate Drizzle (Optional)
- ½ cup Chocolate Chips dark
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats until finely ground. This creates a nice texture for the biscuits.
- Add the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, dried coconut, baking powder, and salt to the food processor. Pulse until well combined.
- Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The cold butter is key to creating flaky biscuits.
- Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth disc. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Chilling helps prevent the biscuits from spreading too much during baking.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ⅛-inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Prick each biscuit with a fork to prevent them from puffing up excessively.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Transfer the baked biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the chocolate drizzle (optional), melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled biscuits. You can create a decorative pattern with a toothpick or skewer.
- Let the chocolate set completely before serving. Enjoy these delicious and healthy biscuits with your favorite beverage!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Coconut adds a distinct tropical flavor. You can omit it and add more whole wheat flour instead.
- These cookies are made with less sugar. Feel free to add more to your liking.
- Instead of dark chocolate, you can use milk or white chocolate.
- For extra crunch and a nutty flavor, toast the oatmeal before adding it to the dough.
- For a more pronounced coconut flavor, use finely shredded unsweetened coconut instead of coconut powder, reducing the flour slightly.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting for a classic digestive biscuit texture.
Expert Tips
- Consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as butterscotch or peanut butter chips, for a unique twist.
- If you find the dough too sticky, lightly flour your hands and work surface while rolling and cutting.
Storage Instructions
- Store cooled biscuits in an airtight tin with parchment paper between layers to maintain crispness for up to two weeks.
