Recipe: Gluten-Free Oatcakes

4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup oat flour
2 cups Kefir
1/4 cup filtered water
3 tbsp butter
3 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
4 tsp rapadura sugar

Mix rolled oats, oat flour, kefir, & filtered water together. Let sit at least 7 hours (mine sat out covered for 16 hrs).

Mix in butter, baking soda, sugar & salt. Spoon onto greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or so depending on size of cookies.

One of my favorite oat recipes plain eaten with cheddar. For variations add 1 tsp of spices like rosemary or oregano. Could also add diced cheddar pieces in batter. This could also be a good sweet if you put more sugar, nuts, and dried fruit.

Keeps for 4 days in air tight container on counter. Best in Frig.

Recipe: Cranberry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup plain goat kefir 

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar 

1/2 cup rapadura

1/2 cup sucanat 

2 eggs 

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

3 cups Rolled Oats

1 tbsp water

1/2 cup walnuts (I love walnuts, so I probably put more than 1/2 cup)

1/2 cup cranberries

Heat oven to 350 degrees F
Beat together kefir, brown sugar, sucanat, rapadura until creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla; beat it up.
Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, mix it up.
Stir in oats and mix it up.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown
Cool on cookie sheet and place on wire rack.


Pretty tasty, but this first batch is too sweet for me though great with a piece of sharp cheddar. I think the next time I make these I will cut the sugar by half or maybe just leave out the packed brown sugar and add more walnuts.
