Yes, too salty, and I love salt (so much so that I sprinkled some sea salt on top of some of the crackers.) I will not chop the rosemary next time before putting it in the processor. I microplaned some parm on some of the crackers about 2 minutes before removing them from the oven - yum.




Tasty but Requires Practice

This is a very tasty recipe. I love the combination of the rolled oats, "unsalted" butter, and fresh rosemary - what could be better. For this recipe, I used 1/2 teaspoon less salt and it came out fine. The only thing that I would try different next time is using less milk, using only 1/4 and adding as necessary. Otherwise when you roll this mixture out it is difficult to handle. I will definitely try this recipe again, as it is relatively easy and inexpensive to make.




very, very good

It was a lot of fun to make! The flavors were full and robust! My friends were impressed! It was a little salty for me, so next time I will decrease the salt by 1/2 tsp, but I don't eat much salt anyway! Great with a mild cheese spread. You want your guests to taste the cracker and not compete with the spread!

This cracker was too salty and heavy, was expecting something light and airy, being baked, but just left a bad taste with too much salt. was disappointed.

These were some of the best crackers I have had, either homemade or store-bought. Be sure to use unsalted butter (oops!) or they will be too salty. The moisture level was perfect and the texture was spot on with still a snap to the cracker. The ground oats gave them a body that seems to be missing in store-bought crackers. A must make.

I made a batch for some guests and they loved them. I read the comments about the salt and removed most of it. I will add half to the next batch as it wasn't salty enough for my taste. A hit.




It's not bad but too salty

I agree with everybody that it's a bit salty. I will use way less salt next time and add rosemary because the smell of the rosemary is so fragrant. I love it. I grind the oatmeal smooth enough but still leave some texture and I can feel it when I eat it. Love the texture, just prepare to floss well:) I will definately try again next time with some changes above.
