Hello everyone! Hope you guys are having an amazing day. I have a couple of easy recipes that I am sure you will love! I love to experiment in the kitchen and my family members are (of course) my guinea pigs but they don’t mind so they try everything I make.
Today I have for you two easy recipes that anyone can make, even if you are not very experienced in the kitchen or perhaps you don’t have much time.
If you’re like me, I love to snack on crunchy goodies. I just love the sensation it gives when you bite on a cracker. It is absolutely delightful to me so I made these gorgeous, thin and super crunchy crackers that I hope you love as much as I did.
I need to make another batch soon! I promise you will not miss the flour in this recipe at all.
Okay, let’s get started.
VEGAN OAT CRUNCHY CRACKERS
Ingredients:
½ cups seeds (Chia, pumpkin, sunflower, anyone you like) I had chia so I used that.
½ cup water
½ tsp. Salt
2 cups of oat flour* (Put two cups of traditional rolled oats in your food processor until they are ground into a powder-like consistency and there you go, oat flour!)
PREPARATION
Blend together the seeds, salt and water. Add the mixture to the oat flour. Mix together and kneed slightly. Roll between 2 sheets of parchment paper.
If you want them super crispy like I do, then try to roll the dough as thin as possible, the thinner, the crispier it will come out. Leaving the parchment paper on, take a pizza cutter or knife, make cuts into cracker shapes without going all the way through. Bake at 425F until brown.
Then carefully turn them so they can cook and crisp on the other side. Longer you let it cook, the crispier they become. Keep an eye on them, they don’t burn fast but you don’t want to take them out too early otherwise you won’t get the crunchiness.
You should try one or two to see if they are crunchy enough, keep in mind that as they cool they get even crispier.
You can eat them just like that or you can add some natural, sugar-free almond butter on top as well.
And voila!
Now, let’s talk about granola.
I have a healthier alternative to the one you buy in the store (Which is basically full of sugar). It is a trial and error recipe so you are free to add or remove any item you don’t like.
SUPER EASY VEGAN GRANOLA
Ingredients:
2 cups of old-fashioned oats
2 ripe bananas
½ cup of raisins
½ cup sunflower seeds
1 cup of chopped almonds, nuts or walnuts
Cinnamon (Optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven at 325F. Mash two bananas in a bowl. Add 2 cups of old fashioned-oats, raisins, sunflower seeds and chopped nuts. Stir well.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes until very golden brown.
Keep an eye on the granola and stir every 10 minutes. If you see that needs to get browner, leave it for a little longer.
What I did was to remove the parchment paper and let it cook without it until very golden brown. Let it cool in the baking sheet (So it can get crunchy).
Enjoy!
