Ingredients
- Almond flour
- Oats
- Chickpea flour
- Water
- Olive oil
- Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1 cup of oats, and 1 cup of chickpea flour. Mix well to ensure the flours are evenly distributed.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the dry mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/2 cup of water. Stir until the oil is well blended with the water.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry flour mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency.
- Once the dough is formed, transfer it onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into squares or desired shapes. Transfer the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cracker.
- Optional: For added flavor, sprinkle some herbs or seeds on top of the crackers before baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your homemade almond oat chickpea flour crackers as a healthy snack or with your favorite dips!
Tips
- Consistency is Key: When mixing your dough, aim for a texture that's not too dry or too wet. If it's crumbly, add water gradually; if it's sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour.
- Rolling Technique: Use parchment paper on top of your dough while rolling to prevent sticking and achieve an even thickness. Aim for about 1/8 inch for the perfect crispy texture.
- Flavor Boost: Don't be afraid to experiment with toppings! Sprinkle sesame seeds, dried herbs, or nutritional yeast before baking to create unique flavor profiles.
- Watch Closely: Ovens can vary, so keep a close eye on your crackers during the last few minutes of baking. They can go from perfectly golden to burnt quickly.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack to maintain their crispness. Storing them in an airtight container will help preserve their texture.Pro Tip: These crackers are not just a snack – they're a canvas for your culinary creativity! Pair them with hummus, nut butter, or your favorite dip for an extra-special treat.
