Ingredients

Below is the list of ingredients you will need to make these delicious lectin free vegan crackers. Each ingredient has been chosen with care to provide a balance of flavor, texture, and nutritional value:

  • 1 cup almond flour (finely ground)
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp cassava flour (for binding + crisp texture)
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, adds fiber)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme (optional for flavor. I used both)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 3-4 tbsp water (as needed)
  • 1-2 tbsp black/white (or both) sesame seeds (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I find that having everything measured out and ready makes the process much smoother and helps prevent any last-minute rushing.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, cassava flour, salt, and any herbs or spices you’re using as well as sesame seeds if you’re using.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients

Pour in olive oil and 3 tbsp water. Mix with a spoon or your hands until it forms a dough. If it’s crumbly, add a little more water — just a teaspoon at a time.

4. Roll Out and Cut the Dough

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness.

5. Bake the Crackers

Carefully transfer the cut dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, especially the edges, which should turn a light golden tint when they are perfectly crisp. Ovens can vary, so it may help to check the first batch frequently to make sure your crackers don’t overcook.

6. Cut Crackers

Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice into squares or whatever shape you like.

7. Bake

Place crackers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until edges are golden (check at 15 minutes first). The timing depends on your oven and I found mine needed a little longer.

Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. This cooling stage is very important as it helps the crackers firm up even more. For storage, place any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature so they remain fresh and crunchy for several days.


Recipe Tips & Variations

  • If you prefer a slightly thicker texture, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness and adjust the baking time accordingly to retain the desired crunch.
  • You can add fresh herbs or other spices depending on the flavour you want.
  • Feel free to experiment with alternative lectin free flours such as tigernut flour or a blend of various seed flours to create your own unique twist.
  • If your dough feels too sticky, simply dust your work surface lightly with a bit of additional coconut flour to make rolling easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use a different oil?
A: Not recommended and I haven’t tried. I’ve tried this recipe using extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil and both work well. Both oils provide a rich flavor and make for a very important ingredient in maintaining the health benefits of the crackers and keeping them lectin free.

Q: Do I need a food processor?
A: A food processor is not necessary. Simply mixing the ingredients by hand works just as well for this recipe, making it easy and accessible for everyone.

Q: How can I adjust the recipe for more crunch?
A: Try leaving in the oven a little longer or roll out the dough a bit thinner.
