5 Ingredient Cinnamon Biscuits – VeganMoFo Day 19

What can you make with five ingredients or less? Something simple like pasta? Or even just toast, perhaps? I decided, for today’s VeganMoFo prompt, to make it a little trickier and do some baking. I’ve been wanting to make some cinnamon biscuits for a while – I’m in a bit of a cinnamon kick at the moment – and this seemed like the perfect excuse.

These biscuits are crispy and crunchy, spiced with plenty of cinnamon and packed with oats – which I think go really well with the cinnamon flavour. They’re rolled in sugar before baking which helps get that crunch through them.

Ingredients

• 200g vegan butter
• 175g sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 200g flour
• 75g oats

to roll in

• extra sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 175C/350F
1. Begin by creaming the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
2. Add the cinnamon and flour, and stir to combine thoroughly.
3. Next, stir through the oats.
4. Pour a small amount of the extra sugar onto a plate.
5. Break off walnut size balls of dough, and roll into balls in your hands. Roll each ball in the sugar, and then place on a baking sheet, flattening slightly with your palm.
6. Repeat until all the dough is used.
7. Place in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the biscuits turn golden brown at the edges.
8. Leave to cool on the tray.
