Golden syrup really is the most wonderful ingredient for baking with – try my insanely delicious golden syrup cake recipe, Scotch pancakes with golden syrup, sticky gingerbread cupcakes, ginger crunch bars and not forgetting of course flapjacks.
ingredient list
- Rolled Oats (NOT jumbo oats – if you use jumbo the biscuit dough won’t cohere together properly)
- Butter (real butter, not margarine or baking spread for the best flavour)
- Caster (super fine) sugar
- Self Raising Flour
- Golden Syrup
- Milk
recipe instructions
- Place the rolled oats, caster sugar and self raising flour in a mixing bowl and stir to mix everything together.Β Β
- Slowly melt the butter and golden syrup together in a saucepan over a low heat.
- Allow the mixture to cool a little. Pour the melted butter and syrup over the oats and flour.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix well until you have a dough. You can use a wooden spoon, but I find it easier to mix the dough with my hands.
- Roll walnut sized pieces of dough beween your hands. Place on a greased and lined baking tray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits have set around the edges and are a light golden colour.
Playing around….
- If you love the flavour of vanilla, add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
- Drizzle the biscuits with melted milk or dark chocolate for a homemade take on a chocolate hobnob!
- You could also add 25g of dried fruit such as raisins or cranberries.
These simple biscuits are just perfect with a cup of tea for an afternoon treat!

Oat Biscuits
These simple oat biscuits are made with golden sryup for a delicious sweet flavour. Leave them plain or drizzle with melted chocolate for a real treat!
Ingredients
- 150g Self Raising Flour
- 150g Caster (super fine) Sugar
- 150g Rolled Oats
- 150g Soft Butter
- 4 Tablespoons Golden SyrupΒ
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160Fan/350F. Grease and line a large baking tray.
- Place the self raising flour in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and oats.
- Melt the butter, golden syrup and milk together in a medium saucepan.
- Once the mixture has melted, remove from the heat and pour over the oat and flour mixture. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Using your hands, roll walnut sized pieces of the dough and place them on the baking tray, allowing 1 inch of space between each biscuit to allow for spreading.
- Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until they are beginning to turn light golden. The biscuits will still be quite soft in the middle so leave them on the trays for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For Chocolate Oat Biscuits, Melt 100g dark or milk chocolate in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cold biscuits or dip the biscuits right in the chocolate for a thicker coating!
Ooh – I wonder if I could dip them in white chocolate as I can’t eat either dark or milk! We’ve decided today at work that we will, once again, be taking part in the Breast Cancer ‘Wear it Pink’ day at the end of October.
Maybe I should start practising these for the day! Whichever way, they sound very yummy,

These look very good. I’ll have to try them. I think I would like to add nuts, though. That should work, right.
I’m sure it would work fine Jovina, sometimes I add dried fruit π
Thanks Ellen! I’m sure they would be lovely dipped in white chocolate – then maybe sprinkled with dried cranberries, mmmmmm! I might have to try that now! Good luck for the Wear it Pink day π xx

Hello Nikki, just to say I’ve made this biscuits this week and dipped them in white chocolate……. Can only say they were very yummy, so will definitely be making them for our ‘Wear it Pink’ day at the end of October! Thank you so much for sharing this and all your recipes!
Have a great day – very wet + windy up here in Warwickshire!

Oh that’s great! I’m really pleased they turned out well for you. Wishing you all the best π
These look so yummy, perfect for dunking in a hot cup of tea. I have a very similar recipe (I think it uses lard as well as or instead of butter though) and your post has reminded me that I haven’t baked them for years!
Thanks Jo! They do go very well with a cup of tea (although I’m more of a coffee girl myself!) π
I’m not familiar with what golden syrup is? Corn syrup, maybe?
Hi Sandra yes, corn syrup would be the American equivalent. Iβm not sure if the results would be exactly the same though.
Yum! Love a good cookie recipe!
Hi Karly, so do I! Thanks for visiting!
I am going to take a crack at these since they look amazing and I doubt I will be disappointed. Problem, I do not keep self rising flour so I will have to look up how to add the baking powder to regular flour. Still not an real issue. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes. I have never been disappointed by any that I have tried from your site.
