Nutritional & Energetic Notes
​
These cakes are a wonderful alternative to bread. The good thing is that we are not using flour, or oil or yeast. This makes them much more healthy than any product where we are using flour.
​
I have suggested the sweet and savoury option but as you can imagine there are many possibilities! You may use dried cranberries, almonds, walnuts... Or you may use other herbs, lemon zest, capers... Or you can make them as simple as you want and use them to spread some delicious vegetable paté (of Broccoli, Tofu & Sea Vegetables...) or Hummus.
​
As an alternative you can use buckwheat flakes or barley flakes or a combination of flakes. If you want a gluten free version then you can make them with buckwheat flakes. If you are using the bigger type of oat flakes, the cake will be a bit harder. You may like it that way or you can blend with the mixer the flakes after soaking and before adding the rest of the ingredients.
