Ingredients:

1 cup oats
80g
1 tbsp coconut oil
14g
3 dried apricots
10g
1 tsp lemon zest
2g
1 tbsp cinnamon
8g
1/2 cup water
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Start by finely chopping the dried apricots.
- Grate the lemon to obtain 1 tsp of lemon zest.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the oats, chopped dried apricots, lemon zest, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Melt Coconut Oil:
- In a small microwave-safe bowl or over low heat on the stove, melt the coconut oil until it becomes a liquid.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the melted coconut oil over the oat mixture.
- Add the 1/2 cup water to the bowl.
- Stir well until all the ingredients are combined and the oats are evenly coated.
5. Form the Oatcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small, flat discs or patties. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the oatcakes are golden brown and slightly crispy.
7. Cool:
- Remove the oatcakes from the oven.
- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
- Your coconut oil apricot oatcakes with lemon and cinnamon are now ready to be enjoyed. They make a perfect breakfast treat or a healthy snack.

Tips:

- For a crunchier texture, lightly toast the oats in a dry pan before using them in the recipe.

- Chop the dried apricots finely to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the oatcakes.

- If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.

- Allow the oatcakes to cool slightly before serving to ensure they hold together well.

- Store any leftover oatcakes in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.

Enjoy your freshly made coconut oil apricot oatcakes as a nutritious and tasty snack or breakfast option. These oatcakes are not only delicious but also packed with healthful ingredients, making them a great choice for those looking to indulge without guilt.
