ENGLISH OAT CRACKERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Place the oats, flour, brown sugar, and kosher salt in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse for 45 to 60 seconds, until the oats are coarsely ground. Add the butter and pulse 15 to 20 times, until the butter is the size of peas.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the lukewarm water and drizzle it over the crumbs in the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened and can be pressed into balls that will hold together.
- With a medium (1 3/4-inch) ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop the dough into your hands and roll them into round balls. Evenly space 12 balls on the prepared sheet pans. Flour the bottom of a flat-bottomed 3-inch-diameter drinking glass and use it to flatten each cracker to 1/8 inch thick and about 3 inches in diameter. The crackers will not be perfectly round. If there is a lot of flour on the crackers, turn them over with a metal spatula. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on the edges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
HEALTHY SEED AND OAT CRACKERS
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!

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.

Steps:

- Place all dry ingredients in blender or food processor and blend until they are consistency of cornmeal. Stop to stir ingredients if they stick.
- Stir in milk.
- Use a frosting knife or rubber spatula to spread batter thinly and evenly on the well-greased baking sheet.
- Place in preheated 325 degree oven and bake slowly until delicately golden, about 15-20 minutes After about 10 mins, use a sharp knife to score the dough in squares, rectangles or desired shape. Watch them carefully, if the crackers on the outside brown faster, remove them and continue to bake the rest.
- Crackers are the crispest while they are baking, so loosen them from baking sheet as soon as they come out of the oven to keep them from crumbling.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°. Mix oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, poppy seeds, and salt in a large bowl. Stir oil, maple syrup, and ¾ cup room-temperature water in a medium bowl to combine. Pour liquid over oat mixture and toss until mixture is completely soaked. Let sit 10 minutes; mixture will absorb water and thicken.
- Form oat mixture into a ball and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press a second sheet of parchment paper directly on top and, using a rolling pin, flatten to ⅛" thick (the shape doesn't matter). Remove top layer of parchment.
- Bake cracker until golden brown around edges, 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully turn out, parchment side up. Place a fresh sheet of parchment on baking sheet. Remove parchment from cracker, carefully turn cracker over, and return to baking sheet. Bake until firm and golden brown around edges, 15-20 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet, then break into pieces with your hands.
- Do Ahead: Crackers can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats for a heartier cracker. Quick-cooking oats will produce a softer cracker.
- Add your favorite spices or herbs to the dough for extra flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, or rosemary.
- Roll the dough out thinly to get a crispy cracker. If the dough is too thick, the crackers will be soft and chewy.
- Bake the crackers at a low temperature for a longer period of time to get a crispy cracker. If you bake the crackers at a high temperature, they will brown too quickly and won't have a chance to crisp up.
- Let the crackers cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their crispness.
