Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter until it is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed butter gradually, mixing on low speed until combined. The mixture should start to come together into a dough.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chunks using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the tops look slightly cracked. The biscuits should still be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Chocolate Oat Chunk Biscuits warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the perfect creamy texture.
- Don't Overmix: When combining dry and wet ingredients, mix just until the dough comes together to keep the biscuits tender.
- Chocolate Chunk Placement: For maximum chocolate in every bite, gently press a few extra chocolate chunks on top of each dough ball before baking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Storage Hack: To keep biscuits fresh and soft, add a slice of bread to the airtight container – it helps maintain moisture.
- Customize Your Biscuits: Try using different types of chocolate chunks or adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor dimension.
- Precision is Key: Use exact measurements and level off your dry ingredients for consistent results every time.
