Beltane Oat Cakes

1 1/2 cups oat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 cup brown sugar (to make them sweeter use up to one full cup) 
3/4 cup butter (unsalted) 
1 egg 
1 cup mashed ripe fruit (banana, peaches, something soft) 
1 3/4 cup rolled oats 

Spices: nutmeg, cinnamon is a good combo or cardamom is nice by itself (approx. 1/4 tsp) 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) 

Mix flour, baking powder, and brown sugar together, make sure to smash any lumps. Cut butter into mixture with a pastry blender (or make do with a fork) add egg and fruit, and nuts. Drop rounded tablespoon of dough onto greased cookie sheet (about 2-3 in apart). Bake at 350 deg F [175 deg C] for 15 min or until cookies look "dry".
