I searched the internet for a good oatcake recipe - because supermarket oatcakes are so bland and I wanted to try making them myself, and this was by far the best recipe that I tried. I left out the sugar and substituted soya milk for buttermilk, and they were still divine. These are the MOST delicious oatcakes I have ever tasted.

But due to milk allergies I am going to try coconut oil or some other oil. Will have to use the lemon juice. Having to cook free of wheat, soy, milk, peanut and some seafood, it can be quite interesting. Will try your recipe. But due to milk allergies I am going to try coconut oil or some other oil.

Whey or lemon juice activates the enzyme and makes the oats more digestable and reduces the binding of the phytates to trace minerals like zinc. This may help if one has a problem with digestability.

I changed it just a bit...I put the gf flour and oats together and soaked it overnight in a cup of kefir (I didn't have any buttermilk). Then I added the rest of the ingredients this morning. I had to add a tablespoon or 2 more kefir and mixed it to a stiff pie dough like consistency. They turned out great. I just had one with hummus and now I want one with cashew butter. My husband will love these in his lunch. Thanks for a great recipe! These are wonderful!

Thanks for adding that (I should have included the information in my blog post). Steel-cut oats are sometimes called groats, like buckwheat groats. They do take longer to cook and are a bit chewier. I like them though, but have never soaked them overnight. I have made a wonderful "oatmeal" type breakfast by slow cooking them all night in a crockpot using more water than normal. They're also good made with pure apple juice instead of water. I add everything to hot breakfast cereals including cinnamon, chopped fruit, nuts, seeds, raisins, dates, even chopped prunes! Thanks, Cid. I appreciate it! Cid,

They're great for keeping energy balanced, especially for people with Type 2 Diabetes or metabolic disorders. Good stuff! We have to thank you all for the idea of oat cakes! Miles,
