Method

1. In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat flour, salt, sugar, and all the spices, then mix well with a hand whisk.
2. Add the sesame seeds, dried fruit, and then the oil, and mix the oat biscuit mixture well.
3. Add the milk gradually until a soft, pliable dough forms.
4. On a work surface, roll out the dough so it is fairly thin.
5. Using a round cutter, cut out the cookie dough and place it on a tray lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake the oat biscuit rounds in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 10 minutes.

7. It is best not to bake the oat biscuits for more than 10 minutes so they do not become hard after cooling.
