Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (45g) oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) boiling water
  • 2 tbsp (28g) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 3 tbsp (63g) honey
  • 1 tbsp (15g) salted butter
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) fresh mint leaves, torn

Instructions:

  1. Combine the pulsed oats, oat flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Note: Pulsing the oats for 2 seconds prevents the cakes from falling apart.
  2. Pour in the boiling water and melted butter. Stir with a spatula until the mixture is clumpy but cohesive.
  3. Let the dough sit for 2 minutes until the water is fully absorbed. This is the most important part for stability.
  4. Heat your skillet over medium heat with a teaspoon of oil.
  5. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough per cake into the pan. Flatten them into disks with the back of a spoon.
  6. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until they are mahogany colored and firm.
  7. While the cakes are in their final minute, whisk honey, butter, and vanilla in a small saucepan until bubbling.
  8. Pour the glaze over each cake in the skillet. Flip once quickly to coat both sides for about 30 seconds until caramelized.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced fresh strawberries and torn mint leaves.
