I have been making oat biscuits throughout summer, well appreciated savory snack. Recently found this The Merry Mill, a small family owned business in Ireland. They grow organic oat, mill to flour, or flatten to flakes without steaming the grain first like commercial brands. They claims that this method retains more nutrients.
I used their oat to make the biscuit, of course it is impossible to taste the extra nutrients, but I do need to adjust the recipe, in reducing water, to form the dough, seems the oat flakes are much less floury, easy to form a dough.
500gm Merry Mill oat flakes
30gm sugar
10 gm salt
300gm boiling water
200gm peanut butter
1/2 cup mix seeds (sesame, chia, flax, caraway etc)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1. Pour boiling water into oat flakes, sugar and salt, mix well.
2. Add remaining ingredients, form into a dough. Make thin biscuits, flatten in the palm one by one, or roll thin and cut out rounds.
3. Bake at 180˚C until golden and dry, around 50 minutes, turn over halfway.
