    Preheat oven to 300 F (150 C).

    Whisk together all wet ingredients in one bowl, dry ingredients in another. Combine both. Use a 2 to 3 in (5 to 7.5 cm) round biscuit cutter as a mould and press about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of mixture into wheels about 1 in (2.5 cm) thick.

    Line baking tray with non-stick paper, and bake wheels for about 30 minutes or until edges begin to turn golden.

    Cool on rack and then Frisbee toss them into your kids’ mouths. (Kidding. Just serve normally.)
