About Oatcakes

Oatcakes are a versatile flatbread originating from Scotland, traditionally made with a combination of oats, water, and sometimes fat or salt. Known for their hearty texture and nutty flavor, oatcakes have been a staple in Scottish cuisine for centuries, often enjoyed as a snack or paired with cheese and spreads. Nutritionally, oatcakes are rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like manganese and phosphorus, making them a sustaining energy source and supporting digestive health. They are typically low in sugar, making them a healthier alternative to sugary snacks. However, depending on the recipe, some varieties may include added fats or excessive salt, which should be consumed in moderation. Ideal for those following plant-based or gluten-friendly diets (if made with certified gluten-free oats), oatcakes offer a simple and wholesome addition to meals while celebrating the rustic traditions of Scottish fare.
