Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until just melted, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Slowly add the melted butter to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to ensure it doesn't curdle.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but should hold together when pressed.
Take small spoonfuls of dough and roll them into balls, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each ball as they will spread during baking.
Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork to form a classic biscuit shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the biscuits are firm to touch.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain their crunch.
