Seeded oatcakes are delicious savoury crackers or biscuits made with oats and seeds. They are simple to make with just a few ingredients, and they are a healthy accompaniment to cheese and dips.
Add the oats, salt and olive oil to a food processor and blitz until mixed and the oats are partly broken down.
120 g porridge oats, 3 tbsp olive oil, salt
Stir in the mixed seeds by hand.
50 g mixed seeds
Add the hot water and mix to a dough. The dough should stick together and not be too crumbly or wet.
65 ml hot water
Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of baking powder to a thickness of 2-3mm. Shape into a square approximately 23cm by 23cm.
Cut into 16 squares. Transfer the baking paper to a baking tray.
Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning partway if necessary. The baked oatcakes should be lightly golden.
Leave to cool on the tray, then store in an airtight container.
Notes
For gluten free seeded oatcakes, use gluten free certified oats
If you want to make oatcakes without a food processor, either use finely ground oats such as instant oats, or use half oat flour and half oats. Stir the oats and olive oil together in a bowl until well mixed. Stir in the seeds and follow the rest of the recipe above
Make round oatcakes if you prefer with a 6-7cm cookie cutter. Alternatively, make large squares and cut diagonally into triangles
