Using a tablespoon, drop the dough 5 cm apart on lined baking trays. Push the dough down with fingers and make them flat. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and let biscuits cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before removing the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.

*Reminder for myself:
original recipe oats 150g    maybe try 100g next time?
try 1 or 2 table spoon of golden syrup or maple syrup. no need to reduce sugar
do not forget to make them flat before baking ;)
