2 Savory Almond Crackers (Raw, Vegan, Dairy Free, Grain Free, Vegetarian, Low-Carb, Gluten Free)



Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

1/2 c Almond Meal
2 Tbsp Flaxseed Meal
2 Flax Eggs (2 Tbsp Flaxseed Meal + 6 Tbsp Water)
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil/ 3 Tbsp Coconut Butter
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Salt (optional)
1 Tbsp Thyme

Spray a cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray or spray coconut oil.

In a small bowl, mix together your flaxseed meal and water to make 2 flax eggs. Set aside. Mixture will thicken after 2-3 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together all of your dry ingredients.
Then, stir in your coconut oil/butter & flax egg (& agave/honey).
Mixture will now resemble a dough.

Spread out onto baking sheet and flatten with your fingers or the back of a large spoon. To help with the mixture sticking to your fingers/spoon, simply spray them with nonstick spray and continue to flatten.


Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crackers turn a golden brown. Remove from oven & cool slightly. Cut into 4 rows & columns with a pizza cutter.

Makes 16 crackers.
Double the recipe for more crackers!

Now go ahead and top these lovely crackers with laughing cow spreadable cheese OR a variety of butters!

I taste tested mine with almond, cashew & coconut butter from Artisana. TO DIE FOR!!!
