Redwall Oatcakes


The animals in the Redwall books ate what sounded like 
wild woodland food for the goddesses. 
So, I'm turning them into actual recipes. 
For the record: this one is amazing. 

*Prep time: 20-25 minutes *Cook Time: 25-30 minutes  * Yields: 16-18 

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp brown sugar
1 cup fresh squeezed clementine juice
2 pink lady apples {shredded}
1/3 cup white raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup hot water
1 black tea bag * I use earl gray
1/4 tsp cardamom
nutmeg for garnish

Step 1:  Pre-heat oven to 350. Combine hot water, 2 tsp brown sugar & tea bag. Steep for 3 minutes and remove the tea bag, wringing it out into the bowl.  
Step 2: Add the raisins and cranberries to the mixture, set aside. 
Step 3: Juice your clementines. Add the pulp from the top of your juicer in with the rest of the juice. 
Step 4: pour the juice/pulp into a pot. Add the agave nectar, mix, and then bring it all to a boil.
Simmer for 8 minutes and then take off heat. 
Step 5: Core your apples and shred in a food processor. Then, in a large bowl mix the brown sugar, oats and shredded apples. Really mix it, use your hands if you feel inspired. 
Step 6: Pour the clementine juice mixture in with the other ingredients and mix well with a spoon. 
Step 7: Drain the raisins and cranberries. Add them to the mix and stir in. 
Step 8: Grease & lightly flour a baking tray. Use a biscuit cutter or large cookie cutter, fill it in with the mix and spread evenly to about 2cm thick. Then slowly lift the cutter and make another, and so on. You can place these very close to each other as they don't change in size at all. 
Step 9: Top each one off with a pinch of nutmeg. Bake for 25-30 min.

 Let cool and then enjoy breakfast in Redwall mouse style.
