How to Make Apricot Oat Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed apricots, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cake.
  6. Flatten each cake slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand to resemble a hockey puck.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  8. Let the oat cakes cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
