Serving Ideas: Enjoy these crackers with cheese, hummus, peanut butter, or fruit preserves. Their lightly sweet, nutty flavor pairs well with both savory and sweet toppings.

Recipe Variants
Herb and Garlic Twist
Swap honey for an extra tablespoon of olive oil, and mix in 1 teaspoon of dried herbs (rosemary, thyme) plus a pinch of garlic powder for a savory version.
Extra Crunchy Seeds
Increase the total seeds to ¼ cup and toast them lightly in a dry pan before adding to the dough for a more pronounced, nutty flavor.
Spiced and Sweet
Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin spice to the dry ingredients, and sprinkle a little cinnamon-sugar (or coconut sugar) on top before baking for a sweeter cracker.
Gluten-Free
Replace whole wheat flour with a gluten-free blend or almond flour. You may need to adjust the water content slightly.
FAQ
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, but the texture may be a bit finer. If you prefer more texture, stick with old-fashioned rolled oats.
What if I don’t have honey?
Substitute maple syrup or agave nectar for a similar level of sweetness. If omitting sweetness altogether, you may need a little more water or oil to bind the dough.
How do I make them even crispier?
Roll the dough thinner, ensure your oven is fully preheated, and bake on the longer end of the recommended time. You can also lower the oven temperature slightly and bake for a few extra minutes to dehydrate them more.
Is it okay to freeze the dough?
Yes! Form the dough into a disc, wrap tightly in plastic or a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before rolling and baking.
