Oat and Raisin Biscuits

These Oat and Raisin Biscuits make a great lunchbox snack for the kids! They are also freezer friendly and Thermomix instructions also included.

We’re a bit obsessed with these Oat and Raisin Biscuits lately and have made two batches of them over the past week!  They really do make a great special snack for the kids, and with them home all day thanks to the school holidays, it feels like they are asking for feed every 15 minutes!  This recipe makes approximately 24 Oat and Raisin Biscuits, however you can easily double this recipe to make a bigger batch too.

Also if you are wanting to stock your freezer with some lunchbox snacks for the kids, these biscuits are freezer friendly once baked and can be stored for up to two months in the freezer (in a freezer safe container of course) and you can then simply add a biscuit or two to the kids lunchboxes when packing them.  You can also make the dough for these biscuits up to a day in advance and simply store it in your fridge.  When you are then ready to bake these biscuits, just leave the mixture on your bench for 15 minutes or so (longer if you are in a cold climate) to soften it a little.
