Dried Fruit Oatcakes - from a newbe...

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to see hello - hello!

I am a wannabe vegetarian. I am constantly looking for new vegetarian recipes

that will appease my meat & potatoes husband. And it looks like this is the right

place!!!

Thanks!

 

 

Below is an oatcake recipe from a baby book that is a big hit with me and my 16

mos. old... (I searched through the recipe files and I didn't see one similar -

I probably missed it! =)

 

Dried Fruit Oatcakes

 

old fashioned rolled oats, 2 cups

ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp

baking soda, 1/2 tsp

salt, 1/8 tsp

melted vegetable spread, 2 tbsp

honey, 1 tbsp

favorite dried fruit, 3 tbsp

 

-Preheat oven 400 degrees

 

- In a mixing bowl, combine oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Make a well

in the center and add the veggie spread and honey. combine with a rubber

spatula until all oats are coated. Mix in fruit. Heat 1 cup of water in a

teakettle or saucepan until very hot but not boiling. Add water 2 tbsp at a

time to oat mixture, stirring after each addition with a rubber spatula, until

oats become wet and sticky. You will not need to use all the water. With wet

hands, mix oat dough a final time. Dough will be sticky and loose.

 

- Scoop and drop dough onto greased baking sheet making two-inch rounds, flat

oatcakes.

 

- Bake oatcakes until edges turn golden brown and centers are firm and not

sticky, about 15 minutes (depending on oven). The oatcakes will crisp while

cooling.

 

Yield 15-18 two-inch rounds

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze

for up to 3 months.
