Apple Oatcakes

These tender oatcakes are made with oats, applesauce, and molasses. You’d never guess they’re gluten-free and vegan!

To make the oatcakes, pulverize rolled oats in a food processor and blend in almond flour. Add some molasses and cinnamon (for sweetness), and blend with almond milk, applesauce, and coconut milk (for liquid and fat). A flax egg binds everything together.

I like to serve these earthy oatcakes with juicy, crunchy chopped apples and sweet maple syrup, but they’re also fabulous on their own.

Make Oatcakes

  • In a food processor, add the oats and blend until finely ground.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and add the almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • In a liquid measure, stir the almond and coconut milks, applesauce, and molasses until combined.
