Tips For Better Flavor
- Use cold butter to create a flakier texture in the biscuits.

What Makes This Recipe Special
These biscuits are a wonderful twist on a classic favorite. They combine the comforting flavors of pumpkin with hearty oats for a satisfying texture. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, they bring warmth and a touch of autumn to your table.
Directions
Warm your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a couple of baking sheets. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, honey, shortening, water, egg, and vanilla until everything is nice and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Pour the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture and stir until the dough comes together. Scoop out rounded teaspoonfuls of dough and drop them onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them a bit apart. Pop them in the oven and bake until the biscuits turn golden and feel set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying!
