In a mixing bowl, combine plain flour, wholemeal flour, bicarbonate of soda, brown sugar, and flaky sea salt.

Cut in cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in rolled oats until evenly distributed.

Add milk, honey, and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.

Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 5mm thick.

Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

If desired, coat the biscuits in melted chocolate after cooling.
