the base ingredients.
For both the oat and the almond crackers, the main ingredients are flour, salt, water and oil. The only difference between the two is the flour and the seeds. Both recipes use brown rice flour. The oat crackers are crunchier than the almond ones because the almond flour is a little fluffier and lighter than the oat flour. And by the way, feel free to play around with the flours and seeds: you may find a combination you like better!
the seeds.
I use chia seeds in both recipes. The oat crackers also have flax and sesame seeds in them, and the almond crackers had pumpkin seeds. You can play around with different seed combinations and see which ones you like best.

ingredients:
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup oat flour
1 tbsp flax seeds
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2-1 tsp salt
1/4 cup cold water
1 tbsp olive oil
directions:
preheat oven to 375 degrees F
mix together flours, seeds and salt in a bowl
add the water and oil, and mix well with your hands until you form a ball of dough. (you may need to add a little more water if it's not sticking together)
roll out the cracker "dough" between a piece of parchment paper and a piece of wax paper until the thickness is that of a pie crust (or thinner)
transfer the crackers (with parchment on the bottom) to a baking sheet and peel of the wax paper
bake the crackers for about 15 minutes, or until they are no longer soft
