Ingredients

For the Oat Crackers:

• 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  
• ½ cup whole wheat flour
  
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  
• ½ teaspoon salt
  
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
  
• ⅓ cup warm water (add more if needed)
  

For the Dip (optional):

• ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• Fresh herbs for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Blend the Oats

Start by adding rolled oats to a food processor and pulsing until they turn into a coarse flour. You don’t need it too fine—a little texture makes the crackers crispier.

2. Make the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, whole wheat flour, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and herbs. Pour in olive oil and warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms. If it feels dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.

3. Roll and Cut

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out evenly to about ⅛ inch thickness. Peel off the top sheet and cut the dough into small squares or rectangles using a knife or pizza cutter.

4. Bake the Crackers

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the parchment with the dough pieces to a baking tray. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let them cool fully before storing—they firm up as they cool.

5. Make the Dip

While the crackers bake, mix yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Chill it in the fridge for a few minutes before serving.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Once the crackers are crisp and cool, serve them with the dip or your favorite spread. I love pairing them with hummus or a creamy herb dip for a quick evening snack.

Tips & Variations

• Seed crunch: Sprinkle sesame, chia, or flaxseeds on top before baking.
  
• Cheesy flavor: Mix in 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan into the dough.
  
• Herb twist: Try rosemary, thyme, or basil for new flavor layers.
  
• Crispier crackers: Roll the dough thinner for an extra crunch.
  
• Spicy version: Add chili flakes or smoked paprika to the mix.
  
• Storage: Keep them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Serving Suggestions

These oat crackers work well with almost anything. Serve them with creamy dips like hummus, tzatziki, or cheese spreads. They also taste great with soups and salads for a bit of crunch on the side.

When I make them for guests, I usually serve a platter with different dips—something creamy, something spicy, and something tangy. The mix of flavors always turns a simple snack into something a little more special.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use instant oats?

Yes, but the texture will be slightly softer. Rolled oats give better crunch.

Do I need to chill the dough?

No need. This dough comes together fast and can go straight to baking.

Can I make them gluten-free?

Definitely. Just replace whole wheat flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend.

What if I don’t have a food processor?

You can buy oat flour or crush rolled oats using a rolling pin inside a zip bag.

How do I keep them crisp?

Store in an airtight jar once cooled completely. Adding a silica gel pack helps keep moisture away.

Can I add cheese to the dough?

Yes. Shredded cheddar or Parmesan adds great flavor and crisp texture.
