Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies: Sweet & Chewy Treats
These oatmeal sandwich cookies are the ultimate indulgence - soft, chewy and full of flavour. The perfectly balanced oatmeal and yoghurt filling makes for an irresistible low-calorie snack that will satisfy your sweet tooth!
Ingredients Needed
Oats: Provides the main grain and nutrients.
Cooked black sesame seeds: Adds flavour and nutrients.
Eggs: Helps shape the recipe and adds protein.
Zero sugar yoghurt: First of all, it is the filling that provides the needed nutrients and rich flavour.
Unsweetened soy milk powder: Adds bean aroma and enhances the flavour of the cookies.
Necessary tools
1. Egg beater or chopsticks: used to mix eggs, oats and black sesame evenly. If there is no egg beater, chopsticks can also complete basic mixing tasks.
2. Spoon or mold: When making the oatmeal mixture into a cake, the spoon can help scoop the right amount of mixture and initially shape it by pressing. If you want the biscuits to be more regular, you can also use biscuit molds to make them.
3. Greaseproof paper or baking paper: used to place oatmeal biscuits to prevent the biscuits from sticking to the bottom of the oven and facilitate subsequent removal.
4. Oven: The key tool for baking oatmeal biscuits. Put the initially formed oatmeal biscuits into the oven and set the appropriate temperature (180 degrees) and time (25 minutes) to make the biscuits reach the ideal taste and color.
Can oatmeal sandwich biscuits be made in an air fryer?
You can use an air fryer.
Note that the heating method of the air fryer is different from that of the oven, and usually requires a slightly lower temperature and shorter time than the oven. Generally speaking, the temperature can be set at 160-180℃ and the time is about 20 minutes, but it should be adjusted appropriately according to the power of the air fryer and the size and thickness of the biscuits.
In order to heat both sides of the biscuits evenly, you may need to turn them over during the baking process.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Uneven Wetness and Dryness
If the eggs, oats and black sesame seeds are not mixed evenly, some cookies may be too hard or too soft after baking.
So make sure all the ingredients are mixed evenly to form a consistent batter.
The proportion of the filling should be well controlled
When making the filling, the ratio of yogurt and unsweetened soy milk powder is critical. You can mix them in a 2:1 ratio and stir them thoroughly to make the filling appear fine and slightly thick.
If there is too much yogurt, the filling will be too thin and soft and will easily flow out of the biscuits; if there is too much soy milk powder, the filling will become dry and hard, affecting the taste.
The biscuits are too thick or too thin
When making the biscuits, improper thickness control will affect the taste and baking effect of the biscuits.
If the oatmeal biscuits are too thick, the inside may not be easy to bake through, resulting in the soft collapse of the center of the biscuits; if they are too thin, the biscuits are easy to burn and lose their proper taste. The ideal thickness is about 0.5-1 cm.
Irregular shape
When the oatmeal mixture is made into a cake, if the shape is irregular and the edges are not neat, the heat distribution is uneven when baking in an air fryer or oven, and it is easy to cause partial burning or under-baking.
It is recommended to use a mold or try to shape the biscuits into a regular circle or square.
Improper baking temperature and time
Whether using an oven or an air fryer, too high a temperature or too long a time will cause the surface of the biscuit to be burnt black, but the inside is not cooked through; too low a temperature and too short a time will make the biscuit not crispy enough. When using an oven, a temperature of about 180°C and a time of 22-25 minutes are more appropriate.
