Totally addictive! Provide lots of crunch and nutrition and are very versatile. I add 2T each, of toasted sesame seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, and sunflower kernels. I could eat them all day! I usually just put the dough on a cookie sheet, roll it out, and cut into squares, because it's easier.

This was a great cake/biscuit for my morning breakfast!!! I really wasn't sure how this would work out with so little flour, but it did, just a more textured cake/biscuit. These are very small compared to my normal size biscuit, but it did make 3 cakes for me as it indicated for the scaled down recipe I made. I took the photo before making them into my breakfast. I crumbled the cakes in a bowl and added some fresh sliced strawberries and ice cream, it was like a textured strawberry short cake, yummy!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Photo Tag Game.
