With just a few basic ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these tasty treats in no time.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
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.
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:

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