Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the milk and vanilla extract together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using two spoons, drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should end up with 8 rough mounds.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy the biscuits warm, either plain or topped with butter, jam, or honey!
