Nova Scotia oat cakes are a delightful snack that are popular in the Canadian Maritimes. Made with rolled oats, flour, and bran flakes, these chewy and sweet cakes are perfect for a quick snack or as a dessert. The addition of bran flakes makes these oat cakes a good source of fiber, which helps to promote digestive health and regulate blood sugar levels. However, due to the high sugar and fat content, it is important to consume them in moderation.

2.	In a bowl, mix together rolled oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

4.	Mix baking soda and boiling water in a separate bowl and add to the mixture.
5.	Add in bran flakes and mix until evenly distributed.
