Lucy Upton, The Children’s Dietitian, describes this as a “bosh it all in one bowl” recipe that children enjoy making as well as eating.  She has added a few extras to nudge up the nutrients which means you can enjoy them all the more. 

Ingredients

  • A cup of oats, wheat-free if necessary – Lucy likes to use half a cup of ready oats (for the vitamins and minerals) & half a cup of rolled oats
  • 1 heaped tbsp seeds – any work well, Lucy used mixed seeds in the recipe above but you can use ground flax, chia seeds or sesame seeds if you can tolerate them
  • 30g cheese, or dairy-free alternative (optional)
  • 1 heaped tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1tbsp olive oil, rapeseed oil or melted dairy-free spread
  • Warm water 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C and line a baking tray.
  2. Put all your dry ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  3. Add your oil, then add a little bit of warm water, a few splashes at a time, until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
  4. Roll the dough out until 1-2cm thick (depends how chunky you like your oatcakes), then use a cookie cutter of your choice (or cup) to cut out your oatcakes.
  5. Pop your oatcakes in your oven for around 20-25 minutes until they are starting to turn golden.
  6. Leave to cool then enjoy!

  • Baked jacket potatoes

    Not so much of a recipe as a reminder not to forget about the humble British spud when you are planning what to feed your family. Potatoes are so versatile, packed with vitamin C and fibre and relatively inexpensive. They’re a great alternative to gluten-free pasta and rice.
