Oats savory crackers with shallots, makes it so flavourful just like maska chaska. Step by step detailed pictures.
I always like to bake savoury goodies, but have not done many so far. And have not tried my hands on using oats in baking. I had some bread flour remaining after I used for garlic bread and rolled oats too after trying granola.
So when I saw this oats savory crackers recipe in the daily news paper, I wanted to try this out as it had no fancy items and had the two main ingredients already. I just adapted the recipe and tweaked to suit my taste buds. The result was too good. The flavour is un believable!
Very similar to Maska chaska biscuits we get. Aj also told the same and he loved the crackers. The crackers are not that photogenic, but its really tasty and flavourful! The texture is also crispy as oats adds a nice crunch to this. Bake it off to trust yourself! 
Cooking time : 30 mins | Makes : roughly 40 small crackers
Ingredients
| Rolled oats | 1/2 cup |
| Bread flour | 1 cup + 2 tbsp |
| Shallots(small onion) Chopped very fine | 1 tbsp |
| Coriander leaves Chopped very fine | 1 tbsp |
| Butter milk | 1/2 cup |
| Butter softened | 2 tbsp |
| Salt | 3/4 tsp |
| Sugar (fine grain) | 1 tbsp |
| Baking soda | 1/4 tsp |
Oats Savory crackers method:
- Pre heat oven for 160 degree C. In a bowl, mix oats, flour, salt and baking soda well. In another bowl, place butter and sugar.
- With a hand blender or whisk, beat sugar and butter, to mix it well. Add finely chopped onion and coriander.
- Mix well again and then add half of the mixed flour and again mix well.
- Then add rest of the flour and knead with buttermilk. You may not need all the buttermilk, so carefully add towards end. The dough should be sticky and not dry with cracks.
- In a well floured space, roll out the dough with generous dusting to a thin sheet.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and carefully transfer the sheet of dough to it and prick with a fork here and there if you want. Draw lines and cut into desired shape (square or rectangle). You need not make the cut parts separate, just bake it as such. Bake at 160 deg. C for 30 minutes or until the crackers turn golden. In between once change the position of the tray.
- You can replace coriander leaves with fresh dill leaves.
- If you do not know what is buttermilk, beat 2 tblsp of thick curd/ plain yoghurt with one cup water and make buttermilk.
- You can sprinkle kosher salt after the crackers are done/ while serving. If so, use lesser salt in the recipe.
- Once you take out from the oven, the flour on the top will make it look so white, but after you brush it with butter, the golden colour will be there,So dont worry!
- The original recipe method asked to prick the crackers here and there, I forgot to do.
Brush with butter and when it is still warm, break the crackers as cut earlier. Cool down and enjoy your coffee/ tea time. So flavourful!

Hi Raks,
I have some questions ,
I need to know the difference between baking powder and baking soda. I have baking powder with me.. can i substitute baking soda with baking powder in this recipe? If so what is the quantity??
And if i am going to use wheat flour? will the above process and preparation be same for wheat flour too??
Next is i have samsung microwave oven. I have three modes(Microwave,Grill,Combi(Grill+microwave) Can you tell me which will be the mode for doing this recipe?
Sorry if these are too basic. Thanks in advance for spending some time for me…
This is a must try recipe – Next time rolled oats is the first thing in my grocery list:-)
Hi,
I just stumbled on your blog and i ended up baking these.
My changes – no sugar, a satchet each of pizza hut chilli flakes and oregano seasoning
And they came out fabulous, just fabulous
Thanks for a wonderful recipe. And i just love, love, love that you give step by step pictures. this is such a big help.
Just a question, how did your crackers become so reddish orangish color. This looks wonderful. Mine were a pale whitish brown color. Tasty but your look better
Wonderful….
They look so yummy….
Please tell me alternative for butter…
Thanks for such a lovely recipe. I tried it and it was just perfect – so crispy 🙂 I made in my MW oven in convection mode and it turned golden brown in 15 mins. Next time I plan to make it spicy without sugar as my 4yr old son doesn't prefer sweet. – Arthi
delicious… bookmarking it… you have explained it very well..

Can I substitute rolled oats with quaker oats
?thanx in advance….
You can try but at your own risk as I haven't tried. Probably the water should be less and texture may also change
can I replace butter by vegetable oil? can I don't add butter milk?
Hi,
Like this crakers but can I replace butter to vegetable oil? and can I don't add butter milk? I don't eat butter and butter milk
U can use vegetabłe oil and try, but buttermilk is must for crispy texture
hey
love ur recipes. thanks for posting em.. but i wanted to know what exactly is bread flour? i dont get it readymade here.. and can i use quick oats instead of rolled ones?
The liquid quantity may vary and the texture too. But you can just try a little bit and see.
Hi raks, where to get rolled oats? I only see 3 mins oats in the market.
Where ever they keep this oats, they keep rolled oats too.
Made these delightful crackers with instant oats and maida..it came out crispy and so yumm..my 6 Yr old loved it…had to increase the baking time (15 mins more) for that crispiness…thank you so much for this recipe..wish I could upload the pictures too…
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂 You can share the pictures through my facebook page or instagram or mail me to [email protected] 🙂
