Ingredients for Healthy Homemade Biscuits
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats, finely ground
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 small pinch of salt
Ingredient Tips
Whole Wheat Flour
Whole wheat flour gives the biscuits a slightly nutty flavor and a more hearty texture. Avoid packing the flour tightly into the measuring cup because too much flour can make the biscuits dry.
Rolled Oats
Finely ground rolled oats work particularly well in this recipe. They blend into the dough while still contributing a pleasant oat flavor.
Honey
Honey provides sweetness and helps keep the biscuits pleasantly tender. If you prefer a less sweet biscuit, you can reduce the amount slightly.
Butter or Coconut Oil
Unsalted butter gives the biscuits a classic rich flavor, while coconut oil can be used when you prefer its distinctive flavor.
Do not overwork the dough. Mix just until the ingredients come together. Overmixing can make homemade biscuits tougher instead of light and crisp.
How to Make Yummy Healthy Biscuits
- Preheat the Oven Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper so the biscuits do not stick.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients Add whole wheat flour, finely ground oats, baking powder, cinnamon and a small pinch of salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk gently to distribute everything evenly.
- Add the Wet Ingredients Add melted butter or coconut oil, honey, milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently until the ingredients begin to form a soft dough.
- Form the Dough Bring the mixture together with your hands or a spatula. If the dough feels too dry, add a small amount of milk. Avoid adding too much liquid at once.
- Roll and Cut Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and gently roll it out. Cut into your preferred biscuit shapes using a small cookie cutter.
- Arrange on the Tray Place the biscuits on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake Bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges become lightly golden. Baking time can vary depending on biscuit thickness and your oven.
- Cool Completely Let the biscuits rest on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They will become firmer as they cool.
How to Make Your Biscuits Extra Crispy
If you prefer a crispier biscuit, roll the dough slightly thinner and watch the edges carefully during baking. A thinner biscuit generally bakes faster and develops a more noticeable crunch.
Allow the biscuits to cool completely before storing them. Placing warm biscuits inside a sealed container can trap moisture and soften their texture.
For the best result, bake the biscuits in a fully preheated oven and avoid opening the oven door repeatedly while they are baking.

How to Store Homemade Biscuits
Allow the biscuits to cool completely before storing them. Place them in a clean, dry airtight container and keep them in a cool, dry place.
