Scratch Sesame and Oatmeal cracker recipe ~ YUM ~

Sesame crackers fresh out of the oven

I’ve been perfecting this recipe for a while and I think it is now ready. Please leave any comments and images below when you try it!. They have a slightly cheesy flavor, mimicking some of those little wheat crackers I love from the organic grocery stores. This is my healthier version, and if I dare say, tastier too.

Note: All ingredient measures are before being freshly ground.

ingredients

• 1 C organic rolled and sprouted instant oats, finely and freshly ground yourself in a food processor or spice grinder. Note: if you use oat flour, you may need an extra tsp or two of water.

• 1/4 C Sesame seeds, also freshly ground, I use a spice grinder

• 1/4 tsp baking powder

• 2 T nutritional yeast

• 1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt* - use an unwashed mountain or sea salt for healthy reasons.

• 2 T sesame or olive oil

• 2-3 T of water, add the first two tablespoons first, then the last if needed.

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350º

• Grind the oats and the sesame seeds until fine using a food processor, spice grinder or similar. (grinding them yourself ensures freshness less oxidation)

• Mix all dry ingredients together.

• Add in the olive oil and 2 T water, blend in with pasty cutter, then kneed by hand until firm but pliable, adding the additional T of water if necessary.

• Form the batter into a fist size ball, and place on a piece of parchment paper.

• Place another piece of parchment on top and roll to flatten evenly with a rollin pin until the batter is about 1/8” thick (thicker crackers will need more baking time)

• Slowly peel back the top parchment paper starting at the far corner to reveal the textured thin cracker dough.

• *You can sprinkle sesame seeds, salt or herbs on top at this stage.

• Use a long knife to impress lines on the batter before baking so they break apart easily. Be creative with the shapes of the lines!

• Bake at 350º for 18 minutes. The cook time depends on how thin the crackers are rolled out. If they are thicker than 1/8, they all need additional baking time. Do not over bake!

Enjoy solo or with dips year round!

Your comments and photos of the crackers you made are much appreciated!
