Date Cranberry Oatcakes

Ingredients

150 g  pancake mix
  7 g  active dry yeast
 10 g  psyllium husks
  5 g  cinnamon (optional)
 <1 g  ground nutmeg (optional)
 <1 g  ground cloves (optional)
600 g  rolled oats
 75 g  chopped dates
 75 g  cranberries
 75 g  canola oil
 75 g  honey (optional)
525 g  warm water

Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients (including the fruit) together thoroughly.

Add the oil and stir until it is evenly distributed.

Add the honey and the water and stir well.

Turn the dough out onto your baking stone, baking pan, or loaf pan. Form the dough into your desired shape. Cover with a cloth and allow to rise for two hours.

Bake at 325 for 70 minutes.

Notes

I usually use whole cranberries, however they have a tendency to protrude from the dough when it is being shaped. Coarsely chopping the cranberries reduces this problem - as does using dried cranberries.

The psyllium husks help reduce the tendency to crumble. The recipe works fine without it if you want a softer cake, albeit with more crumbs to clean up.

I do not measure the nutmeg and clove. The amount of each is probably less than 1/4 teaspoon; more nutmeg than clove.

I am now adding a 7 gram packet of yeast to this recipe and allowing it to rest for a couple of hours before baking so the yeast can work it's magic. The leavening included in the pancake mix is just enough for the pancake mix itself, but there is four times as much oats so adding yeast helps make the cakes less dense.

It also works well baked in a loaf pan (rather than as flatbread) to an internal temperature of 205℉.

Nutrition

Values provided are for the entire batch; divide by the number of servings. For example: I usually cut my dough into 12 portions, so each portion would then be about 286 calories.
