Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make oat flour: Blend the oats in a high-speed blender or food processor until finely ground. (Skip this step if using oat flour.)
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Add wet ingredients: Stir in almond butter and maple syrup until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to about ⅛-inch (3mm) thickness. Shape into a rectangle.
Score and bake: Remove the top parchment and score the dough into cracker-sized rectangles using a knife or pizza cutter.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool and separate: Let the crackers cool completely, then break them along the score lines. Enjoy!

Nut butter: I used almond butter, but you can substitute it with peanut butter, cashew butter, tahini, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
Oats: You can use store-bought or make a homemade version. Read more about how to make homemade oat flour.
Sweetener: Maple syrup gives a subtle caramel note. Honey, agave, or date syrup can be used as alternatives, adjusting slightly to taste and consistency.
Texture tip: For extra crispy crackers, roll the dough as thin as possible and bake a bit longer, just watch closely to avoid burning.
Add-ins: Sprinkle sesame seeds, chia seeds, or flaky salt on top before baking for added texture and flavor.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month.
Gluten-free: Ensure your oats/oat flour are certified gluten-free if needed.
Savory version: Skip the sweetener, add more salt, and season with garlic powder, paprika, or nutritional yeast for a savory twist.
