OAT CRACKERS RECIPE



Oat Crackers Recipe image

Delicious, naturally gluten free crackers that are easy to make and go great with just about any dip you can think to eat them with.

Categories     Appetizer     Snack

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups gluten free oat flour
2 tsp. nutritional yeast
1 tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. baking powder
½ cup water
¼ tsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. coconut oil ((+ extra))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, nutritional yeast, salt and baking powder.
  • Add the wet ingredients and stir together until the dough is blended enough to start kneading with your hands.
  • Stir the dough with a wooden spoon until it comes together enough to knead by hand.
  • Knead the dough well by hand to combine everything. The dough should be dense, but smooth.
  • Split it into four equal pieces. Roll them into balls. Spritz them lightly with oil to keep them from drying out.
  • Working with one portion at a time, roll one portion of dough out thin, between two pieces of parchment.
  • Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut the crackers to the your desired shape and size.
  • For better, more even baking, poke the crackers with a fork.
  • Gently lift the cut crackers with a spatula and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Spritz lightly with an oil sprayer.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, or until they are fully cooked. If you find that the remaining dough starts to dry out or get too crumbly, simply spritz with a bit more oil and work it into the dough.
  • Allow just-baked crackers to cool completely and serve.

HEALTHY SEED AND OAT CRACKERS



Healthy Seed and Oat Crackers image

These crackers are super crispy, loaded with nutrients and they couldn't be easier. Just give them a quick soak in hot water - this helps them create a gel, for binding - and pop them in the oven. They're a great gluten-free and vegan alternative to traditional crackers as the perfect accompaniment to cheese, dips or hummus and, when broken into small pieces, for lending salads added crunch. They're so good you may never buy crackers again!

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
3/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/3 cup whole golden flax seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 cups hot water (about 100 degrees F)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Combine the oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, poppy seeds and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl and stir to combine with a rubber spatula. Add the olive oil, maple syrup and hot water and stir to incorporate. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Stir the mixture to ensure any residual liquid on the bottom is evenly dispersed and then pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Place a second piece of parchment on top and then use the palms of your hands to press and spread the mixture into an even layer (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick), making sure to spread all the way to edges of the pan (gently running a small offset spatula over the parchment also helps to spread the mixture evenly). Remove the top piece of parchment and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Bake until the edges are slightly golden brown and beginning to pull away from the sides of the baking sheet, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into 24 pieces (each 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches) using a pizza cutter or sharp knife (see Cook's Note). Return the crackers to the oven and continue to bake until light golden brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving. Store the crackers for up to 1 week in an airtight container.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon), for sprinkling

Cool then transfer to a food processor; process until finely ground. Add flour, sugar, coarse salt, and pepper; pulse until combined. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons cold water and pulse until dough just comes together, adding up to an additional tablespoon as needed.
  • Turn dough out onto plastic wrap, shape into a rectangle and wrap in plastic. Chill for 45 minutes. Transfer chilled dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup oats and roll into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut into thirty-two 2 1/2-by-1 1/2-inch rectangles. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. If dough becomes soft, chill for 15 minutes.
  • Arrange bars an-inch apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden, 28 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Yield Makes about 18

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
1/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 heavy large baking sheets. Place oats in large bowl. Sift flour, sugar, baking soda and salt into same bowl. Using fingertips, rub in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk; stir until dough forms. Transfer dough to floured surface. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Arrange on prepared sheets, spacing apart. Gather scraps, reroll and cut out additional rounds.
  • Bake oatcakes until edges are pale golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to racks and cool 5 minutes. Transfer cakes to racks; cool completely. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality oats. The type of oats you use will make a big difference in the final product. Look for organic, whole grain oats that are free of additives.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crackers tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together and then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the crackers hold their shape better and will also make them flakier.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown. The crackers should be firm to the touch but not too hard. If you overbake the crackers, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

English oat crackers are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings and dips. They are also a great way to use up leftover oats.
