Super Seed Oat Crackers – A Nostalgic Recipe from the Past!
Hello there! Today, I'm delighted to share a fantastic recipe for Super Seed Oat Crackers, a snack I've unearthed from the depths of my old blog. These crackers are not only packed with wholesome ingredients but are also incredibly versatile. They pair wonderfully with soup, your favorite vegan spread, or simply as a satisfying snack. The best part? You can bake them in the oven or dehydrate them, and there's no need for a blender. I personally prefer dehydrating them, as it preserves the natural flavors of the unroasted seeds, creating a truly unique taste.

Super Seed Oat Crackers Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups quick oats
1 cup raw super seed mix (you can choose from various options)
1 1/2 tablespoons hulled sesame seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons hulled black sesame seeds
2 tablespoons hulled hemp seeds
3 tablespoons flax seeds
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
3 tablespoons sunflower seed butter
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon date syrup
3/4 to 1 cup filtered water
How to Prepare:
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut oil, water, and date syrup. Set this mixture aside.
In a larger mixing bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients, including the seed butter. Mix thoroughly.
Gradually add the water, oil, and date syrup mixture to the dry ingredients while continuing to mix. Add more water as needed to achieve a dough-like consistency.
Once the ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive dough, knead it as much as possible.
Shape the dough into a log and wrap it with plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes to an hour until the roll is firm but not frozen.
Baking Options:
Oven Method:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the roll into evenly thick slices and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-30 minutes, or until the crackers reach your desired texture. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving or storing.
Dehydrator Method:
Place the slices evenly on a dehydrator tray covered with a ParaFlexx Sheet (also known as Teflex).
Set the dehydrator's temperature to 145°F (63°C) and let them dry for about 8 to 12 hours, adjusting the time as needed for your preferred texture.
Once dried, remove from the dehydrator, and they're ready to serve.
