Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 90 grams oat flakes ground into flour
  • 170 grams water
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 75 grams butter
  • 2 eggs washed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder optional

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground oat flakes with water and stir until you form a thick batter.
  2. Add the salt to the mixture, adjusting the amount based on your taste preferences. If using, stir in the baking powder for a slightly fluffier texture.
  3. Melt the butter and mix it into the batter, followed by the eggs. Stir everything until well combined.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  5. Take spoonfuls of the batter and shape them into small oval or disc shapes.
  6. Fry the oat shapes for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden and crispy.
  7. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  8. Serve warm, with a dipping sauce or as a side dish.

Notes

  • For a crisper texture, try adding a small amount of grated cheese to the batter.
  • If you're looking to reduce fat, substitute butter with olive oil or coconut oil.
  • Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings like garlic powder or herbs such as thyme or rosemary for added flavor.
  • These oatmeal fries are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet to retain their crispiness.
