Turbo Oatlets Recipe

Intrigued? Well, this recipe is basically my take on some biscuits that I found on (yes, you've guessed it) BBC Good Food.

They were originally called 'Freezer Biscuits' - a rather unappetizing, uninspiring and bland name that would have you flick past them if you saw them in a recipe book. I suppose the name is practical since these biscuits ARE designed for the freezer.

However, I have christened my version 'Turbo Oatlets' for their speed, rough texture and miniature stature.

And here's how they're made:

Makes 30
Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C

1. Whisk 200g butter with 200g dark brown sugar with an electric whisk

2. Then, beat in 2 eggs (1 at a time) until combined

3. With a spoon or rubber spatula, stir in 200g plain flour and 140g oats

4. At this point you can add whatever dried fruit, flavouring or chocolate that you desire. I used cranberries and cinnamon flavoured milk chocolate chips!

5. Take 2 teaspoons of the mixture and dollop onto a flat baking tray lined with baking paper

6. Round the mixture slightly with your finger and then lightly flatten

7. You should have 30 small balls of the mixture

8. Set to bake for 15 minutes

9. Allow 10 minutes to cool before transferring onto a wire rack until completely cool

TOP TIPS: 
You may end up baking these in batches for lack of oven space and baking tools. For this, measure the correct amount of baking paper and then dollop the mixture onto the baking paper BEFORE transferring onto the hot tray. If the tray is hot, the bottoms will begin to bake before entering the oven. Once you have dolloped the mixture onto the baking paper, simply slide onto the hot tray and IMMEDIATELY pop into the oven.
