I am so sorry Charles, I noticed I decided to rename you James….. I have no idea why… maybe it is an age thing. Please accept my apologies.
Best Wishes

Good Morning James and Sandra, Well, your recipe took me back to when our daughters were little girls as they loved pink cake. I also used to make a dessert for them, where I used cubes of jelly. I would melt the jelly in water, then whip the jelly together with condensed milk (sorry, could not afford cream in those days), then allow the mixture to cool and set. So if only I had thought to put the two things together I would have created a Strawberry Poke Cake….. they would have loved the name.
Thank you for reminding me of those lovely memories.
Best Wishes
Daphne

Hi Mary, I found this online. Let me know what you think.

Oatmeal Crispy Cakes

2c. cooked cooled oatmeal (cooked with milk is best, don’t forget the vanilla!)(Probably a Tsp of Vanilla)
1/4c. flour, any type would work
1/4c. coconut oil

Preheat a cast iron skillet with the coconut oil on med. high to high heat (will depend on your pan & range, you want it at the point just before it smokes)

Scoop out a walnut sized ball of oatmeal, roll it around in the flour and press into a patty. Repeat with the rest of the oatmeal. Place the patties in the hot pan and cook til deep golden brown on the bottom, then flip and brown the other side.

Serve with your choice of topping – we used maple syrup. If you make the patties thick, you will have soft porridge in the middle, if you make them thin you will have much less porridge and most of the patty will be crispy (the best part, we think).

My Mom used to make fried oatmeal cakes from leftover oatmeal. Do you have a recipe for them? They were really good but I cannot seem to get them right.
