How to Make Whole Wheat Digestive Biscuits: A Simple Guide

Whole wheat digestive biscuits are a wholesome twist on the classic favorite, blending nutty flavor with a crumbly texture. Packed with fiber and made with minimal ingredients, they’re easy to bake at home. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started.

Ingredients:

- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

- ¼ cup brown sugar

- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

- 1 tsp baking powder

- ½ tsp salt

- 2-3 tbsp milk (as needed)

- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract or 2 tbsp oats for crunch.

Steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream butter and sugar: Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and honey until light and fluffy.

3. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.

4. Add milk: Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until a soft dough forms—don’t overmix.

5. Shape biscuits: Roll dough into 1-inch balls, flatten slightly with a fork (for classic ridges), and place on the baking sheet.

6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Variations: For extra flavor, add cinnamon, chocolate chips, or dried fruits. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy these healthy treats with tea or as a snack!
