To make gluten-free matzo balls-]Separate egg whites and yolks. Place egg whites in a mixing bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, chicken broth and olive oil.
Place gluten-free oat matzoh crackers in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush to fine crumbs. For finer crumbs, place crushed crackers in a clean coffee bean grinder and pulse 2 times. Add salt and pepper to crushed matzoh cracker crumbs and stir to combine.
Use a large spatula to gently fold half of the cracker crumb mixture into the egg whites. Next, gently fold half of the egg yolk mixture into the egg white - cracker crumb mixture. Repeat with remaining cracker crumbs and egg yolk mixture.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cooking
