Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These oatcakes can also be frozen for later enjoyment; simply reheat on a griddle or in a toaster oven until warmed through.
For a nuttier flavor, try using toasted oat flour. Simply spread the oat flour on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden, before using in the recipe.
If you don't have oat flour on hand, you can make your own by grinding rolled oats in a blender or food processor until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as this can turn the oats into oat butter.
Experiment with different toppings and fillings! Try adding cheese and ham for a savory twist, or topping with fresh fruit and yogurt for a sweet treat.
For a thinner oatcake, use slightly more liquid. For a thicker oatcake, use slightly less.
