You need:
2 mugs of oatmeal
1 mug of ground seed or nuts (i.e. sunflower/pumpkin/almond)
Table spoon tamari (or pinch of sea salt to taste)
Dessert spoon honey (or maple syrup)
Heart shaped cookie cutter
Filtered water
Rolling pin (with flour to roll out)
Oven tray
Method:
Turn oven on to approximately gas mark seven.
Mix all dry ingredients together first and then add the wet ingredients, gradually adding enough water until you have a dough like "rollable" mixture. If you put too much water in and make it soggy, just add more oatmeal.
Take the dough and roll out on a surface covered with flour (I like to use spelt or rice flour but whatever you have will do) until it is about 3 mm (8th of an inch) thick.
Cut with cookie cutter (if you don't have one, try using a large jam jar lid, or just cut your rolled out mixture into squares, or any other fancy shape you like).
Place on oven tray, and then bake in preheated oven between 12 and 15 minutes, until they begin to brown.
Let them cool down. They should be nice and crunchy.
Serve fresh to everyone's delight
Extra Tips: I make oatmeal (ground porridge oats) from regular organic oats by grinding them for a few seconds in a nut mill, although you can buy oatmeal ready ground in the store.
If you don't have ground seeds (or a nut mill), then the recipe works just as well without them. Try adding fresh chopped garden herbs in the mixture for an extra something too.
