Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth and lump-free using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, salt, and water to the bowl. Mix until well combined and the mixture forms a cohesive dough-like consistency.

Step 4

Spread the dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out into a thin, even layer (approximately 1/8-inch thick).

Step 5

Using a knife or pizza cutter, gently score the dough into square or rectangular shapes—this will make it easier to break into crackers after baking.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully remove the tray from the oven and slice along the scored lines to separate the crackers. Flip each cracker over to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 10

Store the banana crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy as is or with your favorite spreads!
