It’s a bit of tense in our household today as Duncan has come up against some issues when constructing his under stairs cupboard and is feeling a bit defeated. He may be a little defeated at the moment but as he is a great problem solver and one of the most tenacious people I know, I know that he will find a way, but I appreciate how hard this is – due to the fact that there is no straight surface in a Victorian house – and I empathise with his feelings of frustration.
I am finishing the design of our site, Duncan will start coding next week, so I am feeling a little under pressure too. I am not the most confident decision maker and I’ve stumbled a little on some of the important details, like font choice for example. I’m torn between various options and see the merit of each but have trouble deciding which one will complement the design the most as well as ensuring the best legibility. To aid us in our efforts, I made a tray of fragrant and delicate oat cookies with molten chocolate chunks. I hope you are game too as that’s what I have in store for you today. They are quick and easy to make and satisfying to eat – crispy when freshly made and they become a little chewy once stored in a jar. I studded them with chocolate chunks as I love the contrast of molten bits of dark chocolate hidden in between oats, but dried fruit like raisins or cranberries will work just as well. We’ve happily put away quite a few of these lately and I hope you’ll enjoy them too.
*** You could make them with 100 g of oat flour (instead of 50 g oat flour and 50 g plain flour), but they will be more delicate so I recommend using both oat flour and plain flour / GF plain flour mix for perfect texture.
