Sesame seeds, on the other hand, are rich in healthy fats, proteins, and important minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which contribute to bone health and overall well-being.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup (70 g) sesame seeds
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp. poppy seeds or any other seeds of your preference

Directions

1. Begin by grinding the old-fashioned rolled oats and sesame seeds in a food processor or blender until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
2. Add salt, baking powder, and water to the mixture gradually, 1 tablespoon at a time, while blending until the mixture starts to come together and forms a dough. Adjust the amount of water as needed to achieve a firm yet pliable consistency.
3. Transfer the dough onto a working surface lined with parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin, even layer, aiming for a thickness of approximately 1/9 inch (2-3 mm) or thicker for denser crackers.
4. Use a biscuit cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into circular cracker shapes, or any other shapes of your preference.
5. Transfer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until the crackers turn crisp.
7. Once the crackers are done, allow them to cool completely. They will continue to harden as they cool.
