apparently, i haven’t posted these scottish ‘biscuits’ until now. they were a go-to cookie recipe for a long time when i lived with vegans. i’ve made these cookies for many a vegan, and the typical response is, “give me the recipe”.
people swear there are walnuts in this recipe. there are no nuts at all. the secret?
RAW STEEL-CUT OATS.
i know it sounds weird, but the nutty crunch in the finished cookies is awesome. you will probably find yourself adding steel-cut oats to all kinds of baked goods once you try this.
