Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Your Station
Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan 140°C / gas mark 3). Line two large baking sheets with non-stick baking paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the porridge oats, plain flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, mixed spice, baking powder, and a small pinch of salt until thoroughly combined.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients & Carrots
In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk the whole egg, egg yolks, granulated sweetener, and fat-free Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the finely grated carrots.
4. Combine and Rest
Pour the wet carrot mixture into the dry oat mixture. Stir well until a cohesive, sticky dough forms. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes—this crucial step allows the oats to absorb the moisture and soften, ensuring a perfect texture.
5. Scoop and Bake
Drop level tablespoons of the dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2–3 cm apart to allow for slight spreading. You should have exactly 20 portions. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the biscuits feel firm to the touch and are lightly golden around the edges.
6. Cool and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and allow them to set on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
Smart Baking Tips & Storage
Storage: Keep these healthy oat biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Flavor Boost: Want an extra burst of flavor? Add a few drops of orange extract or vanilla paste to the wet mixture to mimic the traditional carrot cake frosting aroma.
Nutritional Profile & Weight Plan Compatibility
These biscuits are incredibly low in fat and utilize zero-calorie granulated sweetener to keep the energy density remarkably low. By using fat-free Greek yogurt and fresh grated vegetables for moisture instead of butter or oil, each biscuit counts as a negligible fraction of your daily allowance on popular UK-based healthy eating and slimming plans.
