Margos Low Fat Oatcakes Recipes

HEALTHY OATCAKES WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• If you are blending your own oatmeal from rolled oats, simply place the rolled oat in a blender or food processor and blend until you get a coarse flour.
• Mix the oatmeal, finely chopped fresh rosemary, and salt in a bowl, and add the extra virgin olive oil.
• Bring the water to the boil and add it to the bowl. Mix with a spoon and let it cool slightly. Then use your hands to form a dough. Feel free to add a bit more water if the dough feels too crumbly. Just add it a tablespoon at the time.
• Roll out the dough until very thin (3mm) and cut in circles with a round cookie cutter ( I used a 3 1/16 in - 78mm cookie cutter). If the dough is a bit sticky, I normally roll it out on a baking sheet, to avoid using additional flour.If the dough is too crumbly, don't add too much water. Simply roll out a quarter of the dough at a time.
• Place the circles on a flat tray covered with a baking sheet, no extra grease required.
• Bake until golden brown, for 15-20 minutes. If your oven doesn't cook evenly, make sure to turn the trays half-way through baking. Keep a close eye on the oatcakes in the last 5-8 minutes, to avoid overcooking them.
• When the oatcakes are ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13-by-9-inch pan.

• Put warm water and dried blueberries in a blender and purée (depending on the strength of your blender, you might want to start with 1/2 cup water until the berries are pretty well chopped, then add the rest). Add blueberry purée to oats.
• Beat together applesauce, Splenda and vanilla. Beat in Egg Beaters. Stir in oats and flour mixtures. Fold in cranberries and raisins. Press mixture evenly into pan. Sprinkle raw oats on top. Bake 30 minutes, or until cake is cooked in the center. Cool, then cut. Makes about 20 squares.
