Crispy Crunchy Chickpea and Oat Crackers

So it’s official, I must be a kid food blogger, because I now have a cracker recipe, and these crispy, crunchy chickpea and oat crackers are it! I make homemade crackers often, but until recently I haven’t had my own recipe.

My chickpea and oat crackers started their life one day when I was making hummus. I took a chance, added oats baked them and boom it totally worked out! First time, that pretty much never happens when I try to make a recipe, usually, there are a heap of fails, before a success!


If you have the ingredients for hummus, then you pretty much have the ingredients for these crackers. My kiddos like them, and I like them, which means they are a winner. The kids have enjoyed them plain or with cheese. Me, well for me the ultimate topping combo with these crackers has been blue cheese, caramelised onion relish alongside a glass if red wine after the kids have gone to bed.

These crackers are crispy and crunchy if you need a softer cracker alternative for a younger baby/toddler then try my sweet potato oat and chamomile baby rusks  or if you like the sound of these crackers but they seem a tad complicated.. then check out my new 2 ingredient version using store-bought hummus, hummus and oat crackers on the other hand if you would like a non chickpea cracker then my cheesy seed crackers are also good.
