QUINOA CRACKERS

REAL FOOD crackers! Not only a machine can make crackers..you can totally bust these out at home!!!


•1c quinoa flour

•1c whole wheat flour [or garbanzo bean flour if you want it gluten-free]

•1t sesame seeds

•1t baking powder

•1/2t sea salt

•3T + 1t olive oil

•2/3-3/4c water

•1T nutritional yeast

•3/4t garlic powder

•1t basil

•1t rosemary

•olive oil/salt/pepper to coat before baking

If you are making your own quinoa flour here are the directions:

1.Preheat oven to 250*

2.Rinse 1c quinoa.

3.Spread on a small baking sheet.

4.Bake until completely dry, stirring often. ~30min.

5.Grind in food processor or coffee grinder [not full of coffee ] until powdery. Mine still had some full seeds in it, which is fine.

Somewhat tedious but it saves you from buying it!

1.Combine the flours, seeds, salt, seasonings, nutritional yeast and baking powder.

2.Rub in the oil with your fingers until well combined. The mixture will be somewhat crumbly.

3.Add water in a small amount at a time and mix with hands.

4.Add only enough water until you have a formed ball of dough that is soft but not falling apart.

5.Cover the dough and let rest for ~10min.

6.Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

7.Preheat your oven to 400*

8.Roll out dough [on well floured surface] as thin as possible. About 1/8”-1/16” thick.

9.Cut into crackers with knife or pizza cutter. I cut appx. 1×1” squares.

10.Use a spatula to transfer the crackers to a pan.

11.Lightly brush crackers with olive oil and sprinkle s+p overtop.

12.Bake 7-10min.

I lowered the suggest oven temp because I think they needed to be cooked longer to ensure they all browned evenly. You want to make sure they are all a golden brown before removing from the oven. This will allow for maximum crispness
