Serves: 24 crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, almond flour, flaxseed meal, everything bagel seasoning, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture forms a cohesive dough that can be easily pressed together.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to approximately 1/8 inch thickness, ensuring an even surface.
- Remove the top parchment sheet and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to score the dough into 24 roughly equal cracker-sized rectangles.
- Transfer the parchment with scored dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle additional everything bagel seasoning on top of the crackers for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes to allow crackers to crisp up.
- Carefully break or cut along the scored lines to separate the crackers.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your quinoa is completely cooled and well-drained before mixing to prevent excess moisture
- Roll the dough as evenly as possible for consistent cracker thickness and crispiness
- Use parchment paper for easy rolling and clean transfer to the baking sheet
- Watch crackers closely in the final minutes of baking to prevent burning
- Allow crackers to cool completely for maximum crunchiness
- For extra flavor, experiment with different seasoning blends or sprinkle with additional herbs
- Store in a completely airtight container to maintain crispness
