Herbed oat crackers

Herbed oat crackers are a delicious and healthy snack that are simple to make at home. Packed with the flavors of rosemary, thyme, and chives, these crackers offer a delightful crunch and are perfect for pairing with your favorite dips, cheeses, or simply enjoying on their own. With just a few basic ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these tasty treats in no time.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Blend Oats:
- Place the oats into a food processor and blend until they form a coarse flour. You can also use oat flour if you have it available.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl. Add the baking soda, rosemary, fresh thyme, and chives. Stir well to combine all the dry ingredients evenly.
4. Add Olive Oil:
- Pour the olive oil into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well until the mixture starts to come together. If the mixture is too dry, you may add a small amount of water, a teaspoon at a time, until the dough holds together.
5. Form the Dough:
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out to your desired thickness, roughly about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
6. Cut into Shapes:
- Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut the rolled-out dough into crackers of your desired shape and size. Carefully place the cut-out shapes onto your prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
8. Cool:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the crackers cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
- Once the crackers are completely cool, they are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with your favorite dips, cheeses, or simply as a snack on their own.

Herbed oat crackers are both nutritious and delicious, making them a perfect addition to your snack repertoire. With the combination of oats and fresh herbs, these crackers provide a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavor with every bite. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings or as a standalone snack and savor the homemade goodness.

Herbed oat crackers FAQ:

What baking time is recommended for herbed oat crackers?

Bake the crackers in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges. Monitor them closely to prevent burning.

How can I tell if the crackers are done?

The crackers are done when they turn golden brown at the edges. They will also feel firm to the touch. If they appear soft, continue baking and check every minute.

Can I substitute the oats with a different flour?

Yes, you can use oat flour if it's available. Other gluten-free flours might work, but could alter the texture, so it's best to stick with oats or oat flour for the best results.

How should I store the herbed oat crackers?

Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a resealable bag for up to 3 months.

What can I use instead of fresh herbs?

If fresh herbs are not available, you can substitute with dried herbs. Use approximately one-third of the amount since dried herbs tend to be more concentrated; about 1 tsp of dried herbs for every 1 tbsp of fresh.

Cooking Tips:

- For a more uniform texture, consider grinding the oats slightly before mixing them with the other ingredients.

- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking.

- Ensure the dough is rolled out evenly to avoid unevenly cooked crackers.

- If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour your work surface or add a bit more oats to the mixture.

- Store your crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
