Chick pea and oat crackers

 

Ingredients

 chickpeas - 400g 

• 1 cup rolled oats- 1 Cup 
•  Lemon Juice - 1 Tbsp
• Salt
•  olive oil - 1/4 Cup 

Instructions

Rinse and drain the chickpeas

Place in a food processor, blend until they are smooth, form a ball, and have a texture a little like playdough

Add the rolled oats, continue to blend until the oats are finely chopped into the chickpeas

Add  lemon juice, and salt for seasoning

Begin blitzing in the food processor, gradually add the olive oil, continue blitzing/blending until everything comes together as a ball

Line a baking tray with baking paper, place the dough on top, press the dough with your hands to start flattening it

Place the second piece of baking paper on top of the dough, using a rolling pin, roll until it is evenly spread over the baking tray and approximately 5mm thick

Score the dough into cracker shaped pieces, I use a pizza roller to do it, but you can use a knife

Using a fork, prick the center of each cracker, it helps the crackers to bake evenly

Bake at 180 degrees celsius  36o Fahrenheit for 40-50mins until golden

Leave to cool

Notes

I soaked Chickpeas overnight and then cooked in a pressure cooker the next day morning. Make sure you drain the excess water

These crackers are wheat-free but not gluten-free if using traditional oats
