Gluten Free Crackers are a delightful and healthy snack option perfect for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone looking to enjoy a nutritious nibble. These crackers are crafted using a carefully selected blend of almond flour, coconut flour, and ground flaxseed, providing a nutty, wholesome base that’s rich in fiber and protein. The preparation begins by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and combining the dry ingredients—almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, salt, baking soda, garlic powder, and onion powder—in a mixing bowl. This blend ensures a flavorful and evenly mixed foundation for the dough.
Olive oil, water, and an egg are then added to the dry mixture, creating a dough that is both cohesive and easy to work with. The dough is placed between two sheets of parchment paper to facilitate rolling it out to the perfect 1/8-inch thickness without sticking. This technique is crucial for achieving the ideal cracker texture.
Once rolled, the top layer of parchment paper is removed, and the dough is cut into uniform squares—each resembling a classic cracker shape. This meticulous process ensures consistency in size and baking. Transferring the cut dough on the parchment paper to a baking sheet keeps the shapes intact and makes cleanup easier.
Baking for 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven results in beautifully golden-brown crackers. Allowing them to cool completely preserves their crisp texture, making them perfect for enjoying as-is or pairing with dips and cheeses.
What sets these Gluten Free Crackers apart is their combination of vibrant flavors and superior nutritional benefits, providing a satiating snack that’s free from gluten but brimming with taste and texture.
