You are right Maintainer, I have amended it to skimmed milk or ff yoghurt.

Will be making it with cinnamon next time as I'm kinda off ginger now!!

That would certainly put me off using ginger for a while!

Try a bit of Mixed Spice, that is nice.

If anyone doesn't have any but already have spices in their cupboard, mixed spice consists of Cinammon, Coriander Seed, Caraway, Nutmeg, Ginger!!!! (sorry Dgirl) and Cloves.

Mine never look like that........... but they sure are tasty. Thank you xx

Do you use milk or yoghurt?

The one in the photo was made using yoghurt, the ones I made with milk were more delicate and didn't hold together as well.

I've been using milk......... I'm struggling to figure out which yoghurt is ok as there seems to be a lot of debate about it xx

I make my own yoghurt in the slow cooker using low fat uht milk (semi skimmed 1.6% fat although I know I should use skimmed but I like thick yoghurt!).

I used to buy the Lite Greek Style from Tesco but I know a lot of people use Total yoghurt but it is expensive.

If you cook it for 1 min on both sides it will be very crunchy.

Just keep an eye on it though if doing that as there is a chance it may burn, depending on the strength of your microwave.

Surprising how much they hold together when dunked in a cuppa when they are crunchier.

Ive stopped buying yoghurt I just make my own in the slow cooker and its far nicer than any shop bought FF yoghurt - thank you to Don'tWantToBeFatAnd50

I think most of the recipes use butter and brown sugar like this one:

Scotland's Isle of Arran

OH NO! never mind celery it is then

I made one of these last night. I read the recipe last week and tried it last night from memory-I didnt do too bad.
It was very handy as I hadnt had my oatbran and wasnt that hungry-a quick snack and pretty tasty

sounds like a nice idea. ill try this for breakfast tomorrow....

I made these tonight.... they were fab. I made 5 in 2 batches - the first three were more like the galette, the last two were crunchy like biscuits - think I made them a bit thinner. Thanks. Was thinking I might make a big batch to take camping next weekend....Does anyone know if they keep ok for a couple of days?

I can't wait for a day when I forget my oat bran intake as an excuse to make these!
