Ingredients
- 2 large Banana
- 3 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds and flaxseed to absorb some moisture and thicken the batter.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy on their own or paired with your favorite spreads!
