The method

Step by step

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
About 5 min
2
In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
About 2 min
3
Add the melted vegan butter and warm water to the dry ingredients.
About 1 min
4
Mix everything together until a stiff dough forms.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: If the dough is too dry, add a tiny bit more water, a teaspoon at a time. If it's too wet, add a little more oat flour.
5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using oat flour) and knead briefly until smooth.
About 2 min
6
Roll the dough to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thickness.
About 3 min
7
Cut out rounds using a 6-7cm (2.5-3 inch) cookie cutter or knife, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: You can re-roll the scraps to make more oatcakes.
8
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the oatcakes are lightly golden and firm.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: Baking time can vary by oven; keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
9
Let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Cook’s note: They crisp up as they cool.
