About
| Try these delicious oatcakes, made with oatmeal and wholemeal wheat flour, leavened with yeast or sourdough and hailing from The Staffordshire Potteries. Oatcakes have a similar texture to Indian dosa, but with a wonderful nutty flavour. Most commonly served with a cooked breakfast, but they also taste wonderful with a variety of sweet and savoury toppings. |
Oatcakes may originally have been made with just oatmeal, but modern recipes tend to go for a 50:50 ratio with wholemeal wheat flour, as the gluten gives better structural integrity. In our recipe we use rolled oats blended into a rough oatmeal and YQ Wheat Flour.
You can make this recipe with yeast or sourdough. If you’re using sourdough remember to start the batter the night before, with a lively refreshed starter.
Pleased note that Wakelyns starter is a low hydration starter and you may need to take away some of the liquid if you are using a 100% hydration starter.

Wheat bran is a wonderful ingredient if you’re looking to increase your fibre consumption as it contains over 40g of fibre in 100g of bran. It works beautifully in cakes, especially in combination with wet ingredients like sweet potato and apple, because it absorbs a lot of water, making the final bake just the right level of moist. The mouthfeel of this tea loaf is not dissimilar to corn bread.
A nourishing, plant-based classic made with British-grown grains and pulses - finished with a spoonful of SUCSEED for extra fibre, healthy fats and botanical goodness.
These wholesome oatcakes with festive redcurrant relish make a wonderfully simple yet elegant addition to any Christmas table. Combining the nutty richness of oats, puffed quinoa and wholemeal flour, they’re crisp at the edges and soft within, the perfect base for a jewel-bright relish of redcurrants, berries, apple, and orange. Sweet, tangy, and lightly spiced, this colourful topping brings a burst of seasonal flavour that pairs beautifully with the earthy oatcakes. Delicious served with Greek yoghurt and honey, they make a festive breakfast, afternoon treat, or a cheerful nibble for holiday gatherings.
