Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and baking soda. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until a sticky, cohesive dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each for spreading.
Gently flatten each scoop of dough with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create thin circles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
