Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth and lump-free using a fork or potato masher.
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.
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).
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.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
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.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crispy.
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.
Store the banana crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy as is or with your favorite spreads!
