Oatmeal Cakes


Ben made these oatmeal cakes for his Rainier Hike.
Take some oats and grind them up in a magic bullet or food processor so
it's chunky flour. Mix in some water just so you can form the oats into a flat patty.
Fry in Olive Oil until browned. Salt. Enjoy! These are really tasty and keep well for a backpacking trip. The trick is not to grind the oats into pure flour. You want that chunky oat flavor to shine through. Delicious as a snack!

These ARE DIVINE!! simple, quick and like eating one of those big, fresh pretzels that you crave... only better!

Ben told me that the ratio was to grind (measured pre-grind) 1 C. Oats (steel cut, not quick oats) and add 1/4 cup water. He just pats them together by hand (don't grind the water in).

sea salt on top after frying and wallah! mmmm! He made them camping for a midnight treat and we were all drooling.
