Chia and Linseed Oat Crackers

Simple healthy snacks are always good to have on hand, especially if, like my daughter and I, you find it all to easy to grab a packet of crisps when you’re in the mood for a munch. I wanted to find a way of getting oats and seeds into my daughter that didn’t involve adding sugar or chocolate, but still felt like a little treat. And thus these lovely little crackers were born.

These are beyond easy to make and can be stored in an air tight container for at least a week. If you’re feeling playful you can cut these crackers into fun little shapes using whatever cookie cutters you have on hand.

Honestly, they’re good in lunch boxes, great with cheese and apple and even make a good canape base if you’re entertaining. If you roll them out thinly enough, the seeds take on a beautifully toasted flavour during baking making them incredibly moreish too.

Chia And Linseed Oat Crackers

These healthy little crackers are easy to make and really are extremely tasty. They're excellent with cheese and chutney, but also work fabulously well with dips as a healthy alternative to crisps.

Servings 48 Small crackers

Equipment

• Baking paper
• Baking Trays
• Rolling Pin

Ingredients

  

• 50 g Gluten free oats
• 1 tbsp Milled linseed (flaxseed)
• 2 tbsp Golden linseed
• 2 tsp Chia seeds
• 1 tsp English mustard powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 50 ml Hot water Straight from the kettle

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 200°C, 390°F, Gas mark 6
• Place all of the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir thoroughly.
• Add the olive oil and water and mix to create a dough. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
• Place half the dough between two sheets of baking parchment and roll out as thinly as you possibly can. Cut parallel lines into your dough about 2cm apart. Then cut more parallel lines on the diagonal about 2cm apart so that you create diamond shaped crackers. Place the crackers slightly apart on a non stick baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough and roll out with the remaining dough to make more crackers. Keep re-rolling scraps and cutting to shape until you have used all of your dough.
  
• Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool on the baking sheet.
