OAT FLOUR CAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 190C.
• Mix together the oats, flour, salt, sugar and bicarbonate of soda.
• Add the butter and rub together until everything is mixed and has the consistency of large bread crumbs.
• Add the water (from a recently boiled kettle) bit by bit and combine until you have a somewhat thick dough. The amount of water varies; depending on the oats.
• Sprinkle some extra flour and oats on a work surface and roll out the dough to approx. 1/2cm thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes (the final number of oatcakes depends - of course - on the size of cutter you use.
• In a wonderfully Scottish twist/coincidence I found that using an upturned whisky glass makes the perfect size :-)
• Place the oat cakes on a baking tray and bake for appprox. 20-30mins. or until slightly golden brown.

Steps:

• To make the compote, put the orange juice, berries and apple in a small saucepan and gently simmer over a medium heat for 10-12 mins until the berries begin to burst and the apple has softened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little. Add a splash of water to loosen, if you like.
• Blitz the oats in a food processor to form a coarse flour consistency, then tip into a mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, cinnamon and orange zest and stir well. Whisk together the oat milk and egg in a jug, then pour into the dry ingredients and combine to create a thick batter.
• Heat a little of the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then pour in 2 tbsp of the batter to make a small pancake. Cook over a medium heat for 2 mins, or until small bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook on the other side for 1 min, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter (you should end up with six pancakes). Stack the pancakes on two warm plates, spoon over the compote and top with a dollop of the Greek yogurt.
