Equipment
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Rice flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tbsp Chopped dates
- 4 ounces Light cream cheese Softened
- 2 tbsp Canola oil
- 1/2 cup Filtered water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF. (162°C)
- Measure the rolled oats, rice flour, and baking powder into a mixing bowl and whisk till combined. Add the chopped dates and stir until combined. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and oil until blended. Make a well in the flour, and add the cream cheese and oil mixture.
- Mix on medium speed using a paddle attachment until crumbly. Add the water all at once and mix until dough forms and all the ingredients are combined. Turn the dough out onto a slightly floured surface and form it into a log, about 2 inches in diameter.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour. When ready to bake, slice the biscuits 1 ⁄ 8 -inch thick and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake 12– 15 minutes till they are dry and firm to the touch.
- Turn the oven off and leave the biscuits in another 20– 30 minutes. Remove them from the oven, cool them on a baking rack, and store them in a cookie tin.
Notes
Keep cream cheese securely wrapped in plastic wrap and a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Cream cheese cannot be frozen because it will liquefy when it defrosts. Cream cheese may be heated in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium heat to soften it rapidly.
The simplest and most effective instrument for smooshing and combining softened cream cheese is a fork.
