Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and flour until well mixed.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and rub into the flour mixture using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add the low sodium baking powder and sugar to the mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and vanilla extract together.
Add the egg mixture and milk to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a sticky dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut the dough into rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden.
Remove biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
