Oatmeal Biscuits are soft sweet biscuits made from flour, oatmeal, butter, honey and milk. They are delicious for breakfast with scrambled eggs or omelettes. Or you can enjoy them for dinner with stews or soups. I love to serve them with Baked Creamy Herb Parmesan Eggs or Creamy Asparagus Potato Soup.
Oatmeal Biscuits are such a treat. They are one of our family favorites and so simple and quick to make. You can serve them with fresh fruit, roasted chicken or even pasta. They are spiced up with a little bit of cinnamon and ground cloves and lathered with honey and butter.
How do you make Oatmeal Biscuits?
Start by whisking the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground cloves and salt together. Cut in the butter using a pastry knife until it is crumbly. Stir in the oats, milk and honey just until it is moistened. Move to a well floured work space and pat out to about 1/2-3/4 inch thick. Cut with a floured biscuit cutter and place on a parchment covered baking sheet.
Melt butter in the microwave on a reduced power and stir in the honey. Using a pastry brush lightly coat the tops of the biscuits with the honey butter and bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
Helpful tips for making Oatmeal Biscuits
- Use old fashioned rolled oats verses quick oats. They make a heartier tastier biscuit.
- I have always found that real unsalted butter is best in biscuits. There is just something about butter that makes everything better.
- Don’t over-mix the dough. Mix just until incorporated so the dough does not get tough.
- Space them far enough apart when baking for the warm oven air to flow around the biscuits.
- Bake on the middle rack in the center of the oven.
- Store up to three days in an airtight container or zipper bag. Or double wrap in freezer bags for up to two months.

Do you think these would work if I substitute whole wheat pastry flour for the white flour?
I caution against that because whole wheat flour could make them too dense. Let me know if you try and how they turn out
I didn’t see your reply in time, so I used the WW pastry flour anyway. Since it’s pretty light, I don’t think the texture was impacted too much. I think I rolled the dough out too thinly, so my biscuits are more like a soft cookie but I really like the flavor. They’re lightly sweet, which allows the hearty flavor to come through. I don’t know that my husband will like them, but that’s ok—more for me!
YUM! These turned out great, and are delicious. I didn’t have 2 1/2″ cutter, so used 3″. Very easy to make. These would make a great gift to give a grieving family for breakfast, or someone recovering from surgery. I think these would also be delicious with raisins and/or nuts if you are so inclined. Recipe is a keeper!
Thanks so much Robin! Great ideas! So glad that you liked them!!
Thank you for this recipe. These were easy to make. I don’t have a biscuit cutter so I used a drinking glass instead. The dough was very easy to work with and didn’t stick to the glass at all. The biscuits are very tasty. I will make them again.
