  Hey Eileen, glad you liked them :-) I'm still in awe at how easy and fast they are to make, and all you need are storecupboard ingredients!

  This tasted great. I was able to make about 20 thinking it would be enough for my family but they didn't last long. They tasted so brilliant that I ended up eating most of them before anyone else could! Thanks a lot for this recipe!

  Hi Can I ask what oats you have used for this recipe. Is it porridge oats or oatmeal? Really keen to have a go. Thanks B

  Hi fillo, sorry for the late reply. I just used regular fine whole oats (quick cooking / for porridge works well).

  Oh, excellent recipe. Thank you. I just made this as I wanted to try to duplicate some tasty snacks that I had yesterday. These were oatcakes with a seaweed topping. I boiled up 3 big handfulls of kale & added some oil from a jar or sundried tomatoes and added a couple of t spoons of seaweed powder & spread this over the top. I also added some linseed, sesame seeds & pumpkin seeds to the oatcake mixture. This worked out perfectly & saved me around £5 as the snack pack my friend had yesterday cost nearly £5.50 & I am sure the tray I just baked contains just as much in weight as the packet ( if not more ). I will definately make these again.

  Hi I was just wondering how long these keep or if it would be possible to freeze them? I am thinking of making them as a Christmas present and was hoping I could make them in advance.

  Excellent stuff. I flavoured mine with a varity of things, some with some dried chilli, some with cracked black pepper, and some with sesame seeds. Perfect with cheese and chilli jam!

  I just tried this recipe today and it is AWESOME! The oatcakes were ridiculously easy to make and they tasted great. I could barely wait for them to cool before eating them! Thank you so much for sharing.

  Wonderfully easy to make and they tasted much better than shop-bought oatcakes. I've made these a few times now and they always turn out great. I topped mine with some smoked cheddar and a homemade tangy tomato chutney. Yum! :)

  An oatcake is not a bannock. An outcake is a hard biscuit. A bannock is a soft triangular (a circle, quartered) unsweetened "flatbread" made without yeast (using baking soda to leaven), often baked on a griddle.

  Great recipe. I found I needed about double the water though. I used a wine glass and made 24 biscuits. I also mixed in caraway seeds, which give an extra flavoursome bite

  Oh yes - and I also substituted the butter with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Maybe this was why I needed extra water.

  I made a slight deviation by using fine oatmeal instead of the flour and olive oil. Added parmesan and a little dried rosemary. A visitor thought they were shop bought. Is that good or bad?:) Whatever they are delicious

  These are great and so easy to make but I found 1 teaspoon of salt made them too salty for our taste.
