Wholesome oatey choc chip and walnut biscuits

I am always short of work snacks.  Which is not to imply that I'm not taking plenty of them to work.  But I eat them all by midday*.  Couple my all-consuming consumption, and our frugal budget, and I got home from work tonight (Monday night) resolved to bake some sweet, wholesome, filling, slightly nutritious biscuits to fill the gaping few hours in the afternoon that I am without snacks.  These are eating-for-cheap biscuits.  And you can make them between getting home and dinner if you're on top of your game.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 3/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 150g butter
• 1 egg
• vanilla essence
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 cup chocolate chips, chopped 

Follow the unwavering template of biscuit making.  Heat the oven to 160 degrees.

Cream the butter, sugars and vanilla with a hand mixer.  Add the egg and beat through.  Add the flour and repeat until mixed.

Now you must turn from your mixer to your trusty wooden spoon.  Add the oats, walnuts and chocolate and stir through.  It takes elbow grease, but it only takes about 30 seconds to combine.

Spoon into balls and place on baking sheet-lined trays.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Cool.

*This mad hunger and incessant eating is easily the big winner of pregnancy thus far.  That and the impending baby, of course.  Oh, but the eating! The shame-free adolescent-style cramming! I'm into it.
