Time 40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup water
5 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Place the rolled oats into a blender or the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse several times to grind them into coarse flour. Stir the oat flour together with whole wheat flour, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour in the water and olive oil, and mix to form a soft dough. Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, and roll out 1/8-inch thick. Using a knife, partially slice through the dough in desired shapes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until just barely brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully, as they burn easily. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before breaking along score lines into individual crackers.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. These oats are less processed and have a heartier flavor than quick-cooking oats.
  • Grind the oats into a fine flour. This will help the crackers to be crispy and hold together well.
  • Use a combination of butter and oil. This will help the crackers to be both flavorful and crispy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crackers tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the crackers to hold their shape.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy.
  • Let the crackers cool completely before storing them. This will help them to stay crispy.

Oatmeal crackers are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
