Steel-Cut Oatcakes image

I am NOT an oatmeal fan. I have been searching for over a year to find a way to include oatmeal into my diet. I just don't like oatmeal. I tried steel-cut oats and able to eat a bite or two, but in the end the texture just is a challenge for me. I found this recipe in Bon Appetite (Sept. 2007) and thought it worth a try. It was great! Cook the oatmeal, chill, cut into pieces and cook on a griddle. While it is a two step recipe, it is quick and easy and worth the little bit of planning required. The cakes are even better served with fruit or yogurt. I will never be a big oatmeal fan, but this is a recipe I can include in my meal plan and actually enjoy. Give it a try, your colon will thank you!

These oatcakes were a complete failure. They fell apart when I tried to flip them, and they tasted like cardboard.

I found these oatcakes to be a bit bland. I think they would be better with some added flavor, like cinnamon or raisins.

These oatcakes are a bit dry for my taste, but they're still a good option for a healthy breakfast.

These oatcakes are a bit more time-consuming to make than regular pancakes, but they're definitely worth the effort. They're so delicious and satisfying.

These oatcakes are a great alternative to traditional pancakes or waffles. They're just as delicious, but they're much healthier.

I've made these oatcakes a few times now, and they're always a hit with my family. They're so easy to make, and they're a great way to use up leftover oatmeal.

These steel-cut oatcakes were a delightful surprise! They had a hearty texture and a nutty flavor that I really enjoyed. I served them with a dollop of butter and a sprinkle of salt, and they were absolutely perfect.
