    These Gluten-Free Vegan Crackers are crispy and crunchy, super easy to make and full of flavour! They're filling and satisfying, nutty and fragrant, and keep well for several days. They're also nut-free, sugar-free and oil-free optional. They make the perfect snack or appetiser to serve with vegan cheese, pâté, hummus or a dip!

    I always wondered whether it was worth making crackers at home, but honestly they taste so much better than the shop-bought ones as the taste and texture is so much fresher. Plus, you can easily customise them to fit your flavour preferences!

    These Crackers are mainly made using a combination of oats and sunflower seeds. I also added poppy seeds for nutty flavour and rosemary for fragrance. Oil helps them crisp up in the oven whilst water helps them bind together. You can scroll down to see some substitution options!

    How to make this recipe

    • Place all the ingredients apart from the water into a food processor.
    Oats, sunflower seeds, rosemary, poppy seeds, coconut oil and salt in a food processor
    • Adding the water a bit at a time (because you don’t want to add too much), whizz until it forms a mixture that’s easy to stick together but firm enough to roll out easily, and still retaining some texture.

    Tip: You might need to mix it around a few times so that it all blends together evenly.

    • Transfer this mixture onto a sheet of baking paper.
    • Place another sheet of baking paper on top of the mixture and use a rolling pin to roll out the mixture until it’s around 5mm (¼ inch) thick.

    Tip: Try to roll it into as much of a neat rectangular shape as possible.

    • Use a sharp knife to slice it into even rectangles - you should be able to make around 26.

    • Transfer these onto a rectangular baking tray lined with baking paper (I had to divide mine between two baking trays).

    • Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes, until firm to the touch.

    How long do they keep for?

    These Crackers keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days - they're perfect for making ahead when entertaining!

    Substitutions you can make

    • The sunflower seeds can be replaced with pumpkin seeds, pecan nuts or flaked almonds.
    • The poppy seeds can be replaced with sesame seeds.
    • For an oil-free version, the oil can be omitted.
    • The rosemary can be omitted or replaced with thyme.
    • You can add any spices you want!

      Made these for Christmas - the only change I made was sesame seeds in place of poppy seeds - and they worked an absolute treat.
      Rolling out my best rectangle proved tricky so I settled for circular cut-outs instead.
      They taste so much better than the store-bought oatcakes I usually get.
      I also rolled out some of the mixture to be extra thin so that those crackers were extra crispy.

      Beautiful.

      Splendid recipe. I was having trouble rolling it out evenly with a rolling pin so I added water to get a more pliable dough then used an Atlas Pasta Machine to get an even, sheet, cut with a round biscuit cutter for lovely crackers.

      I love these crackers! It is difficult to find gluten-free savory snacks and this hits the spot. I didn’t have fresh rosemary and used the dry from my spice shelf. That worked! I’m going to play around with the recipe and see if I can make a plain sweet cracker. If it works, I will let you know.

      would it work baking them as one sheet and halfway the bake slicing them into wanted sizes? I've used that with similar recipes and saved some time in the past.

        That could work, but I can't guarantee results as I haven't tested it that way. Would love to hear how you get on if you try it!

      These crackers are outstanding the recipe is perfect there is nothing to change , I just added 1/2 tsp garlic powder just because I love garlic you can’t really taste it a lot . I did a little less than 1/4 tsp salt because I don’t like salty crackers but if you don’t mind salt this is not salty . I am so happy I found this recipe , there isn’t that many recipe in the web with oats ! I used the sesame seeds wow you can taste it in the crackers . I baked it 18 minutes and I finished them in my dehydrator I like my crackers really crispy , it made a huge difference the cracker was very crispy before it was a tad pasty but nothing it’s my preference you do what works for you ...this will be in my recipe repertoire I will try other spices too maybe grade 1 garlic clove and add black sesame seeds sprinkle over before baking ..thanks a lot
