Oatmeal Crackles Recipes

OAT MEAL CRACKERS

Steps:

• 1. In a microwave safe bowl; Mix all the ingredients. 2. Microwave everything for about 2 1/2 minutes on the high setting. After the first minute stir in the oats and continue microwave the last 1 1/2 minute. 3. Cover an oven tray with parchment paper and spread out the oatmeal using a tablespoon. The layer should be very thin. 4. Sprinkle the oatmeal with different seeds, chopped nuts and spices - use your imagination and your own preferences. I can recommend sesam-, chia- and flax seeds. 5. Heat up the oven to 150 C (300 F) and bake the oatmeal crackers for about 40-50 minutes or until the oatmeal is turned into a large crisp sheet. 6. Use a knife to cut the baked sheet of oat meal into smaller crackers.

ENGLISH OAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Place the oats, flour, brown sugar, and kosher salt in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse for 45 to 60 seconds, until the oats are coarsely ground. Add the butter and pulse 15 to 20 times, until the butter is the size of peas.
• Dissolve the baking soda in the lukewarm water and drizzle it over the crumbs in the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened and can be pressed into balls that will hold together.
• With a medium (1 3/4-inch) ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop the dough into your hands and roll them into round balls. Evenly space 12 balls on the prepared sheet pans. Flour the bottom of a flat-bottomed 3-inch-diameter drinking glass and use it to flatten each cracker to 1/8 inch thick and about 3 inches in diameter. The crackers will not be perfectly round. If there is a lot of flour on the crackers, turn them over with a metal spatula. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown on the edges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

OATMEAL CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Place the rolled oats into a blender or the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse several times to grind them into coarse flour. Stir the oat flour together with whole wheat flour, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Pour in the water and olive oil, and mix to form a soft dough. Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, and roll out 1/8-inch thick. Using a knife, partially slice through the dough in desired shapes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just barely brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully, as they burn easily. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before breaking along score lines into individual crackers.

OATMEAL JAM SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the walnuts. Set aside 2 cups of the mixture. Press remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread preserves over the base and crumble the reserved oat mixture over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden. Cool before cutting into squares.

CRACKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat sugar, oil, chocolate and vanilla until blended. Beat in egg. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into sugar mixture. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours or until firm enough to handle., Preheat oven to 350°. With sugared hands, shape dough into 1-in. balls; roll in confectioners' sugar. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

OATMEAL COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 15x10x1-inch pan. In large bowl, beat brown sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses, vanilla and eggs. Stir in oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Spread in pan.
• Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown and center is set. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.

OATMEAL CRACKLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat brown sugar, salad oil, vanilla, and eggs until smooth.
• With mixer at low speed, beat in flour, baking soda and salt until blended.
• With a spoon, stir in oats.
• Place sugar in a bowl.
• Roll level tablespoons dough into balls; roll ball in sugar and place on a large greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake about 10 minutes or until golden, remove to wire racks to cool.
• Store cookies in a tightly covered container.

OATMEAL ANIMAL CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine sugar, oats, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add water and vanilla; stir until blended. Add enough flour to form a stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into rectangles or use cookie cutters dipped in flour. Using a floured spatula, transfer to greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

MIDNIGHT CRACKLES

Steps:

• Put the butter, sugar and chocolate in that order into a 2 quart saucepan. Put the pan over low heat and warm the ingredients, stirring occasionally, until they are melted and smooth. Scrape everything into the bowl of a mixer or into a large bowl.
• Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves.
• Working with a mixer with a paddle attachment, if you have one, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl on low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, beating until the eggs are well blended into the chocolate. With the mixer still on low, add the dry ingredients, mixing just until the dough is smooth and shiny; it will clean the sides of the bowl and form a ball. Turn the dough out onto a work surface, divide it in half, wrap each piece in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour or for up to 3 days. (If the dough is solid, leave it on the counter for 30 minutes before proceeding.).
• Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 350°F Line two baking sheets with parchment or a silicone mat.
• Working with 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, roll the dough between your palms to form firm, shiny balls. (If the dough breaks as you work, squeeze and knead it a bit, then reroll it between your palms.) Place the balls about 1 inch apart on the baking sheets and lightly press each one down a bit with your fingertips.
• Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back at the midway point. The cookies should be delicately firm and crackled across the top. (It's better to under- than over bake.) Remove the sheets from the oven, let the cookies rest on the sheets for 2 minutes, then, using a wide metal spatula, gently transfer the cookies to a rack; cool to room temperature.
• Repeat with the remaining dough, cooling the baking sheets between batches.
