A crispy homemade cracker that compliments any snack tray. These crackers are healthy and filling, and pair well with any cheese!

One of our favorite things to do as a family is to play games Saturday night. Especially in the summer-time, when we can sit on the deck in the fresh air and kick back with a smoothie! Whenever we play games we bust out the snacks. Games and snacking go hand in hand!

What You Need to Make Homemade Wheat Crackers

• Quick Oats
• Raw Wheat Germ
• Sugar
• Whole Wheat Flour
• Unbleached Flour
• Salt
• Water
• Oil

How to Make Homemade Wheat Crackers

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine 3 cups quick oats, 1 cup raw wheat germ, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup unbleached flour, and 1 tsp salt.
• In a separate bowl, emulsify (mix with a whisk to combine) 1 cup water and 3/4 cup oil. Add the oil mixture to the flour mixture.
• Mix together with hands. Divide mixture in half.
• Place each half onto cookie sheets.
• Roll out to a little thicker than pie crust. Score into square shapes with the back of a butter knife. Gently poke holes in each square with a fork before baking.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until firm.
• Once cooled, you’ll be able to easily break the crackers into squares by breaking along the scored lines.

What Does Emulsify Mean?

• Emulsify is a fancy word for mixing. It’s used instead of the word ‘mixing’ because it’s specifically referring to mixing ingredients together that can’t be completely blended together. For example, water and oil. Just do your best to mix by using a whisk.

Tips for Making Homemade Wheat Crackers

• Once the crackers are cooled, you’ll be able to easily break the crackers into squares by breaking along the scored lines. That will leave you with ‘edge’ crackers. The edges of the crackers will get a little darker and crispier then the rest of the crackers. You can do as you’d like with those pieces. We don’t usually eat that part. But it’s all a matter of personal preference!
