Banana-Oat Biscuits

Ok, here's the interesting fact (for me at least)...... I just found out the difference between biscuit and cookies.... in American English, biscuit means a small soft leavened bread, somewhat similar to a scone while in British English, it means a small and hard, often sweetened, flour based product, most akin in American English to a cookie.

So, this is an American English biscuits.....
