savory nut + seed crackers {gf}

I don't know about you, but I'm a big snacker. Sometimes I love making a big plate of finger foods, chopped veggies, and various dips {Homemade Edamame Hummus} to munch on while I study. 
Although, I've found very few cracker brands that I feel are made with 100% real and clean ingredients. With the leftover almond meal from making almond milk, I decided to give my own homemade crackers a go with a few simple ingredients that were already in my pantry. This simple recipe came out way better than expected. Super excited to try different flavors and variations of these healthy crackers!

Yields approx. 10 small crackers
{double the recipe if you'd like to make more}

Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes

What you'll need:

1/2 cup almond meal or food processed almonds {fine}
1/2 cup oats 
2 tbsp chia seeds 
2 tbsp flax meal or seeds
2 egg whites 

seasonings of choice:
1 tsp cumin 
1 tsp garlic powder 
1/2 tsp paprika 
1/4 tsp cayenne 
1/4 tsp pink salt 
1/4 tsp black pepper 
or everyone’s favorite ~ Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel Salt 


What you'll need to do:

1. Preheat oven to 325 and combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well. 
2. Create small ~1-2” crackers. Press thin on a parchment lined baking sheet. {The thinner the cracker, the crispier.!}
3. Bake for about 20 minutes. Flip. Bake for about 15 more minutes or until crispy and golden. {NOTE: your crackers will bake quicker if you used dry almond meal, vs almond meal left over from milk.}
4. Store in an airtight container. If they lose their crunch, simply toss in the oven for a quick re-crisp.

Serve with your favorite dip or guac, on a cheese plate, or even crumble on greens for a crunchy salad topper.

In health,
