This is a little bit different way to have your morning oatmeal…it takes more time, but I think it’s definitely worth it!
Oat Cakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
- 1/4 cup boiling water
For Topping:
- maple syrup
- bananas, cooked in coconut oil
Directions:
Chop oats into a course meal in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add baking soda.
Melt (if needed) 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and pour into the oatmeal; mix well. Slowly pour in the boiling water, stirring constantly and scraping the sides of the bowl until a sticky batter develops. Let rest 3 minutes.
Meanwhile heat remaining oil in skillet. Drop 6 spoonfuls of batter into pan. Pat down until 1/4 inch thick and cook over low-medium heat until crisp and golden brown, 5–7 minutes. Turn cakes over and repeat.
Cakes can be topped with maple syrup alone, BUT I like to thickly slice bananas and fry them in coconut oil over low heat and top the oat cakes with the bananas and some maple syrup. YUM.
