Homemade crackers - they have been on my must make list for over a year! To tell you the truth, for reasons unknown, making my own crackers intimidated me. Well not anymore; they actually are super easy to make and so much tastier than your typical store bought version, not to mention a heck of a lot cheaper.
One of my favorite snacks - crackers & hummus. I found myself day dreaming about these crackers during the day, calling Justin panicking 'cause I thought he would eat the last of the crackers before I got home. Luckily he knows me all too well and made sure to save the last of the crackers for my afternoon snack.
I love a mix of sweet and salty- these crackers were definitely on the sweeter side thanks to the dates and coconut flour - feel free to try chickpea flour for a little less sweet cracker. Or leave out the dates and replace with an additional 1/4 cup or so of water.
Over the weekend I also made this amazing tapenade from Keepin' it Kind - let me tell you; make these crackers and Kristy's tapenade, you will not be disappointed.
Have you ever made crackers at home before - if so leave the link (if you have one!) in the comments so I can check it out.
What is your go to afternoon snack?
Multi Seeded Crackers
makes about 30-40 crackers
you will need:
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pepita's seeds
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/4 cup coconut flour
2 tsp each sesame seeds- black & tan
2 tsp chia seeds
2 tsp poppy seeds
pinch of salt
5 dates pitted & soaked in 1 cup warm water
3/4 cup warm water
2 tbsp coconut oil - melted
assembly:
pre heat oven to 350*
roughly
process pepitas & sunflower seeds in a processor- transfer to a
medium mixing bowl with sesame seeds, flax, poppy seeds, chia seeds, coconut flour & salt
in a food processor combine dates, 3/4 cup of water & coconut oil and blend until smooth - add the wet mix to the dry and stir well.
between 2 pieces of parchment paper roll the "dough" to the thinness of your liking. I rolled mine out to about a 1/4" thickness, next time I would make them a little thinner. Remove the top piece of the parchment paper. With a sharp knife score the top of the dough in a criss cross patter - the width of each cracker is up to you, mine were about a 1" x 1/2" rectangle/diamond.
transfer parchment with the crackers directly onto a baking sheet, bake in a pre heated oven for 30-45 minutes turning crackers at the half way mark. The crackers should be golden brown on both sides.
Remove crackers from oven and allow to fully cool; the crackers crisp up nicely once cooled.
Crackers will keep up to a week.
Enjoy!
I love the addition of dates in these crackers to make them slightly sweeter! Making crackers has been on my list of things I want my husband to make. He always says he is going to give it a go, and has a stack of recipes I have emailed him, but never makes them. I'll be sure to add this one to the stack and see what happens!
ReplyDeletethese crackers look PERFECT! so crunchy with tons of stuff going on in there. gotta make me some of these.

ReplyDeleteI love making homemade crackers! These look divine. My only issue with crackers is that I can never seem to roll them quite thin enough, no matter how much elbow grease I put into my rolling pin. Oh my, that tapenade.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your recipe, the crackers look delish! I just tried making them and the dough was pretty wet, not to say a bit soupy is that how it's suppose to be? I followed your recipe and added 1 cup of warm water + 3/4 water but that seems to be too much. What kind of consistency should the dough be? First batch is in the oven, so I hope they turn out ok!
ReplyDeleteHi Lily!
DeleteI am so sorry, I took home the recipe to make after reading your comment and realized that I had made a typo- the 1 cup of water is for soaking the dates only and should be discarded after soaking. The 3/4 cup is the amount of water needed for the actual dough - I have a feeling that you may have had to bake your crackers a bit longer than the allotted 25-30 minutes for them to become crispy. My apologies for the oversight- it was an honest mistake, I thank you you so much for bringing this to my attention! The recipe has been updated :)
Thank you for this amazing recipe! I have made these crackers many times and they always come out wonderful 😊. The only change I make is that I leave out the dates. Everyone who has tasted these crackers loves them! I still amaze myself that I can make crackers that are so good for our bodies and taste so yummy 😊. These crackers are also perfect for my sister who is gluten free 😊.
