Ingredients for Oat and Flaxseed Crackers:
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (you can use either brown or golden flaxseed);

How to Make Oat and Flaxseed Crackers:

- Lightly dampen your hands with water;
- Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper;
- Gently flatten each ball with your hand to create a cracker shape;

- All done! This batch makes about 30 small crackers;
- Once the crackers have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container;
- They will stay fresh for about 6 days.
Tips:
Feel free to add other grains or seeds to the dough. You can also swap the oat flour for whole wheat flour or coconut flour.
A Little Bit About Crackers:
The word “biscuit” (or “biscoito” in Portuguese) comes from the Latin biscoctus, meaning “twice-cooked.” It originally referred to a confection made from flour, sugar, and a fat or liquid, baked again to ensure a crunchy texture with very low moisture content—typically below 5%.
