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!

Overall, these oatcakes were just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to make them again.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the oatcakes didn't turn out as expected. They were too dry and crumbly.

I wish the recipe had included more detailed instructions. I had to guess at some of the steps.

These oatcakes were a bit too expensive for my taste. I think I could have found a cheaper recipe online.

I didn't really like the flavor of these oatcakes. I think it's because I don't like the taste of oats.

These oatcakes were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be a bit more chewy.

I found these oatcakes to be a bit bland. I think they could use a little more salt or sugar.

These oatcakes are so good! They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I love the flavor of the oats and the hint of sweetness from the honey.
