I make Nova Scotia Oatcakes pretty often. I probably make them a couple of times a month at least, I certainly make them more than any other baked good. I’m Canadian originally, but I’m from Toronto and the child of English immigrant parents and I never had them growing up so it’s not like I can claim that I make them for nostalgic reasons. I make them because they’re amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I usually use this recipe<\/a>. And I can even make them in our toaster oven<\/a> (which is also awesome and we refer to it as “the science oven”) which means I can bake these in the summer and not heat up the whole house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And once in a while, if you don’t mind sacrilege, you can add a splash of vanilla, or dried wild blueberries, or even chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They’re delicious, not too sweet, a bit salty, chewy and oaty and just awesome. Filling and tasty and they have oats so they must be good for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We now return you to your regularly-scheduled puppy programming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I make Nova Scotia Oatcakes pretty often.
