STEEL-CUT OATCAKES
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!

Steps:
- Butter 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan or rimmed baking sheet. Bring 3 1/2 cups water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Add oats and salt. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until oatmeal is tender but still firm to bite, stirring often and adding more water by 1/4 cupfuls if too thick, about 30 minutes. Add cream, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, sugar, and vanilla; stir until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Spread oatmeal in prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 4 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
- Cut chilled oatmeal into squares or triangles. Heat griddle or heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush griddle with melted butter. Cook oatcakes until golden brown and heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Divide oatcakes among plates, drizzle with maple syrup, spoon strawberries over, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right oats. Steel-cut oats are the best choice for oatcakes because they have a chewy texture and nutty flavor. If you don't have steel-cut oats, you can use rolled oats, but they will not be as chewy.
- Soak the oats overnight. Soaking the oats overnight in water or buttermilk will help to soften them and make them easier to digest. If you don't have time to soak the oats overnight, you can soak them for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a hot griddle. A hot griddle will help to create a crispy crust on the oatcakes. If you don't have a griddle, you can use a large skillet.
- Don't overcrowd the griddle. Cook the oatcakes in batches so that they have enough room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Flip the oatcakes carefully. Oatcakes are delicate, so be careful when flipping them. Use a spatula to gently loosen the oatcakes from the griddle before flipping them.
Conclusion:
Griddled steel-cut oatcakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you like them sweet or savory, griddled steel-cut oatcakes are a great way to start your day.
