I made another batch of these cracker today and thought I should share this delicious and easy recipe. I know that I had struggled for years to find a really tasty, filling, and satisfying GF cracker so I thought I would make my own! It is easy to modify and add in different herbs, spices, garlic and to make them sweet try a little maple syrup and vanilla (this tastes like a graham cracker). It only takes 15 minutes to make the dough and cut up the little cracker squares. I like to use a pizza cutter to help make easy cuts. Don’t forget to separate the crackers before baking and prick pretty little fork holes in the top! Today I added basil, oregano, garlic and chia seeds for some extra nutrients. The oat base creates a nice wholesome flavor with added fiber and B vitamins.
Below is the recipe for Oat Crackers from The Anti-Inflammatory Kitchen Cookbook.
