These cute and crunchy little parmesan oatcakes were so easy to whip up in the Bellini and are perfect for entertaining. Great to serve with cheese, dips or paté as an alternative to crackers. My kids also loved them and so I think they will feature regularly in school lunchboxes come February. I found the original recipe in an old issue of Donna Hay Celebrate Magazine – Donna Hay, always comes up with the goods 🙂

Tips for Parmesan Oatcakes
- You can also roll the dough out flat and use cookie cutters, I just find the cookie sausage easier.
- Depending on the weather, you can also place in the fridge for 30 minutes instead of the freezer. I think the freezer makes it easier to cut.
- These have a subtle flavour, you could zing them up by topping with chilli flakes, rosemary or poppy seeds before baking.
