Oatcakes (with a gluten-free variant)
Oats are healthy, oats raise your good cholesterol, oats are just the thing if you’re a fan of grains. If you want to feel your oats, but you’re not up for a bowl of oatmeal porridge, have a couple of oatcakes instead. You can take ’em with you, too.
Two versions here: regular and low-wheat/no-wheat/gluten-free. Serve with a little butter and brown sugar on top.

Preheat oven to 3250F
Ingredients:
| 0.5 | cup | sunflower oil |
| 1 | cup | maple syrup |
| 1 | cup | wheat germ |
| 0.5 | cup | soy flakes or grits |
| 1 | cup | sunflower seed pieces |
| 1 | cup | blanched peanuts, chop (or crush with rolling pin to separate halves) |

| 1 | cup | rye flakes |
| 7 | cup | rolled oats |
Method:
Gently heat oil and maple syrup in a large pot. Remove from heat.
Add remaining ingredients in order one at a time, stirring after each addition.
Spread granola in two roasting pans (dutch oven or cast iron skillets) and toast in the oven, stirring every 10-12 minutes until desired color indicates it is done (about 30 minutes). Pay special attention to the corners of the pans when stirring to avoid burning. It’s delicious to munch while still warm but allow to cool before storing in an air tight container.
