It is so difficult to buy oatcakes that are gluten and palm oil free so I have decided to make my own. This healthy oatcake recipe uses no flour (and thus is gluten-free) and is super versatile.
For a plain oatcake, just omit all the herbs and spices and, if you’re feeling adventurous, why not throw in some extra seeds such as poppyseed, pumpkin or even sesame seeds to add extra crunch!
This delicious savoury biscuit can be enjoyed as a light snack or perfect to eat with cream cheese, jam or even soup.
