Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup California walnuts plus extra for sprinkling on top
  • ¾ cup old-fashioned oats plus extra for sprinkling on top
  • ½ cup rye flour or spelt or white whole wheat
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds plus extra for sprinkling on top (or try sesame or pumpkin seeds)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt plus extra for sprinkling on top
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 ¼ cups hot water

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • food processor

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable mat.
  3. In a food processor, combine walnuts and ½ cup of the oats. Pulse about 30 times, until walnuts are well chopped.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the walnut-oat mixture, the remaining ¼ cup whole oats, rye flour, sunflower seeds, sea salt, oregano, and thyme. Add the hot water and mix until blended. Let sit for 2-5 minutes to help the oats absorb the water.
  5. Use a spatula to transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread out evenly; get it as thin as possible.
  6. Sprinkle the dough with the extra walnuts (chopped or crumbled into bits), oats, seeds, and sea salt.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove and carefully cut into 16 slices. Place back in the oven and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes.
  8. Let cool a bit and then carefully break apart. It's ok if they break into smaller pieces. Enjoy and store extras in an airtight container.

Notes

These crackers are delicious on their own or with a topping. Try with: different cheeses, hummus, avocado, or smoked salmon.
