Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
In a separate small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract together.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Stir gently with a spoon until the mixture comes together as a sticky dough. Avoid overmixing.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently press the dough into a flat disk about 1 cm thick.
Use a round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out oatcakes. Gather any scraps, re-roll the dough, and repeat until all the dough has been used.
Place the oatcakes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the oatcakes from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Drizzle with honey before serving for added sweetness.
