Can I reduce the sugar in this recipe?

Absolutely. You can reduce the total sugar by up to half without significantly affecting the texture. The biscuits will be less sweet but still delicious. Consider adding spices like cardamom or ginger to compensate for the reduced sweetness.

Why are my biscuits too crumbly?

If your biscuits are falling apart, you might not have pressed the mixture firmly enough before baking. The dough needs to be compacted well to hold together. Also, make sure you've added the exact amount of oil and egg, as these are crucial binding ingredients.

Can I use honey instead of molasses?

Yes, you can substitute honey for molasses, though you'll lose some of that distinctive deep flavor. The texture should remain similar, but honey will give a lighter, sweeter taste profile to your biscuits.

How do I know when the biscuits are perfectly baked?

Perfect Belvita biscuits should be golden around the edges and feel slightly firm to the touch when hot but not hard. They'll continue to crisp up as they cool. If they're still soft after cooling completely, they need a few more minutes in the oven.

Instructions

Preheat your oven: Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C). Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set it aside.
Mix the ingredients: Using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, combine all of the ingredients until the mixture appears crumbly but holds together when pressed into a ball in your hand.
Prepare the pan: Transfer the crumbly mixture onto your prepared pan and press it into the pan evenly using either a rolling pin or your hands.
Bake the biscuits: Bake in the oven at 350° F (180° C) for 15 minutes.
Shape and cool: After removing the pan from the oven, immediately use a pizza cutter to cut the biscuits into squares. Allow the pan to cool completely before serving.
Optional additional baking: If the biscuits are still soft, place them back into the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes if needed.
Store properly: Store the biscuits in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

For evenly shaped biscuits, press the mixture firmly into the pan and use a sharp pizza cutter immediately after baking.
Cool the biscuits completely before eating to ensure they are crispy.
To modify sweetness, adjust the quantities of sugar or substitute with alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
