These oat flour–based flax biscuits from Ann Esselstyn are perfect for when you need a delicious, wholesome addition to a meal. With only four ingredients, they take just a few minutes to mix. Flaxseeds add extra oomph and help bind the dough, while baking powder keeps them light and airy. Serve with jam, fruit, or soup. If you have leftovers, toast them until they’re hot and crispy.
