Spiced Oat Biscuits
This is an easy go-to recipe when I’m looking for a baking activity with my daughter - they’re easy, quick and perfectly messy. They’re also a great sweet treat that’s not too sweet or heavy, perfect with a cup of tea. And usually I have all the ingredients readily available so no planning required! These could be considered dry and rough, so aggravating to Vata. Make sure to use plenty of ghee if you have a Vata aggravation and enjoy with a cup of chai.

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
Mix the rolled oats, flour and baking powder in a large mixing bowl until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the ghee, egg and sugar until they reach a creamy consistency. Add the spices and vanilla to the mixture.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until well combined.
