Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Banana
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add chia seeds, ground flaxseed, rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined and form a thick batter.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds and flaxseed to absorb some moisture and thicken the batter.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to flatten it to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the batter into cracker-sized rectangles. This will make it easier to break them apart after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then carefully remove the baking sheet, flip the entire cracker sheet over, and return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the crackers are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, break them along the scored lines into individual crackers.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy on their own or paired with your favorite spreads!
