Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 20 crackers
Ingredients
- Almond flour (1 cup)
- Flaxseed meal (1/4 cup)
- Water (1/4 cup)
- Olive oil (2 tbsp)
- Salt (1/2 tsp)
- Garlic powder (1/2 tsp)
- Herbs (dried, optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and flaxseed meal. Whisk until well combined and any lumps are broken down.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs (if using).
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not too wet. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and roll out each piece into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick.
- Place the sheets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly golden and crispy.
- Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Break the crackers into desired shapes and sizes. You should end up with around 20 crackers.
- Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
Tips
- Consistency is Key: When mixing the dough, aim for a slightly sticky texture. If it's too dry, add water sparingly - you want the dough to be pliable but not wet.
- Rolling Technique: Use parchment paper or a silicone mat when rolling out the dough to prevent sticking. A thin, even roll (about 1/16 inch) ensures crispy, uniform crackers.
- Herb Variations: Don't be afraid to experiment with different dried herbs or spices. Rosemary, thyme, or everything bagel seasoning can take these crackers to the next level!
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack to maintain their crispy texture. Rushing this step can make them soggy.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer preservation. Pro tip: Add a small piece of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust the salt and garlic powder to suit your taste preferences. These crackers are incredibly forgiving and adaptable!
