Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 cups whole wheat flour, preferably organic stoneground
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats (not instant), preferably organic, plus 2 teaspoons
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cups guinness
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil or other vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey

How To Make irish oaten rolls

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 2
    In a bowl, mix the flour, oats, salt and baking soda.
  • Step 3
    In another bowl, mix the Guinness, buttermilk, oil and honey. Stir the liquids together with a wooden spoon.
  • Step 4
    Add the liquids to the dry ingredients and stir with the wooden spoon to combine. Stir well until the consistency goes from runny to more like a damp sand.
  • Step 5
    Pat into small handfuls to form 12 mounds on the lined cookie sheet. Once all mounds are evened out, you can pat each into a rough round roll shape, about 3 inches diameter by 1-1 1/4 inches high.
  • Step 6
    Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of oats over the rolls and put them into the oven for about 15 minutes, or until browned and done. Transfer each roll to a rack to cool just a little bit. Serve and enjoy!
