Baked and topped with Honey, a specialty of the Beornings. Eat while traveling to restore some health.

While playing the Return to Moria survival game I came across these honey cakes which looked amazing! I knew I had to make them for the next game night. In the game you use 3 Khuzdul Oats and 1 Cave Honey in an oven to make it. We changed the recipe a little bit so you can make it in real life.
