Homemade Multigrain Biscuit Recipe / 5 Grain Biscuits
Multigrain Biscuits are Indian cookies which gives you nutrients of 5 main ingredients: oats, rice flour, corn flour, ragi flour(finger millet) and wheat flour. Replacing sugar with jaggery powder makes it more healthy choice.
Here I come with yet another healthy and tasty snack for kids: Multigrain Biscuits or 5 Grain Biscuits . These are just melt in mouth eggless biscuits which will vanish from your baking tray as soon as you bake them . So better bake a ton in advance. Just my advice. 🙂
Though I have used 45 grams of each ingredients, they can be replaced by any other flour of your choice but the total quantity of 5 dry ingredients should remain the same. Next time I am planning to skip sugar and add jaggery powder .
Preparation Time: 15 Minutes
Baking Time : 15 Minutes
Yields :40-45 Cookies
Ingredients :
- 45 Grams Wheat flour
- 45 Grams Corn flour
- 45 Grams Ragi flour
- 45 Grams Rice flour
- 45 Grams Oats
- 15 Grams Milk Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 150 Grams Marvo
- 100 Grams Powder Sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon Mava essence
Method:
Beat marvo for few seconds . Then add sugar and beat till its light and fluffy.
Add mava essence and beat for few more seconds.
In a separate bowl, take all 5 grain flour and mix.
Add them in marvo mixture along with milk powder, baking powder and salt.
Beat the mixture well on slowest speed till everything is mixed well.
Using hands, just assemble everything to form a dough.
Using cookie cutter of your choice, cut the cookies and place on a tray lined with parchment paper and bake in preheated oven (284 degree Farenheit or 140 degree celcius) for about 15 minutes.
Once baked , place them on cooling rack .
Store in air tight container once cooled properly .

These biscuits sound wonderful. I have never had a healthy multi grain biscuit and I like the fact that you have such great instructions to give me inspiration to make them
Thanks Claudia. They taste really wonderful.
I’ve never heard of jaggery powder before! I’m going to have to look for that since I can’t have much sugar! Thanks for the information!!
Hi Lauren! If you are in USA , they call it Panela. If you go in Indian grocery stores in USA, you will find jaggery powder.:)
I wish I could try this cookies look very nice and interesting some of the flours used I have not used not I did not know those existed. No doubt that we learn new thing everyday.
I love these healthy little biscuits! Perfect for a snack and the heart shapes are my favorite too!
Oh this sounds wonderful. l love the use of multigrain. So nutritious and healthy. I have never tried marvo but I guess margarine might work as well. Saving this for later. sounds yum
Yes Margarine should work.
With kids being home from school for the summer it’s the perfect time for this recipe. The kiddos — and grown-ups too — always are on the search for something to snack on. I like the grains in the recipe. In fact, I’m going to whip up a batch for the grandsons.
These cookies are sooo good. My kiddo loves cookies like these. I can’t wait to make him this. Thanks for lovely step by step instructions with pictures. It’s so helpful.
Loving these heart shaped healthy biscuits! Perfect snack or morning tea addition. Will definitely give them a try soon
Gonna try this recipe tomorrow… But will replace oats and corn flour with Bajra and jowar flour instead. Wanna try using foxtail millet as well.
What is Marvo?
It is vegetable shortening used in cookies to retain their shape and texture after they are baked.
Can I use butter instead of Marvo for multigrain biscuits?
Butter will expand them once baked.
What is Marvo?
Sorry for late reply. Marvo is vegetable shortening used in baking cookies so that they dont spread once baked.
