Whole grain cookies – additional flavors & ingredients

• Seeds: Add sesame seeds, chia seeds or pumpkin seeds to enrich the nutrient intake of the biscuits.
• Dried fruits: For a sweet note and soft texture, you can add dried fruits such as raisins, dates, cranberries or pieces of apricots or plums. They will bring a delicious aroma and extra sweetness.
• Additional flavors: Experiment with flavors such as vanilla, cinnamon, ground ginger or ground almonds to bring a distinctive and comforting note to whole oat biscuits.
• Alternative sweeteners: If you want to reduce the amount of sugar, you can replace white sugar with natural sweeteners such as honey, maple syrup or agave syrup. This will add a natural and subtle sweetness to the biscuits.
• Adding chocolate: For an extra touch of decadence, you can add pieces of dark chocolate or milk chocolate to the cookie dough. This will provide an explosion of flavor and a surprising delight in every bite.

Experiment with these options and adapt the recipe according to your culinary preferences to create truly unique and delicious whole oat biscuits!
