Flax Crackers. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I frequently look at raw diet cookbooks and websites – I don’t think there’s anything wrong with cooking food, but I love using them as a resource for healthy desserts and figuring out variations on flavors – those raw people can get super creative, and they usually only use whole foods which is great. Case in point – they’ve been doing the flax cracker thing forever, they just dehydrate them instead of baking them.
I’ve hardly ever seen a recipe for this kind of flax crackers that wasn’t raw, so I decided to see if they worked as well in a standard oven since I don’t own a dehydrator. They do! These things are awesome – super healthy (flax is all kinds of good for you), super flexible (you could season these with a ton of different flavors), delicious, and easy!
And of course, vegan, gluten free, sugar free, yadda yadda yadda. The basic recipe is essentially just ground flaxseed and water – from there the flavors are up to you. Ingredients: Comments. Black Bean Crackers. Cook Time: 10 min. We have been trying to reduce the amount of grain that we eat, but it's hard on my kids. They like to munch on crackers and the gluten free options tend to be a bit pricey. I like to make my own food wherever possible, so this seemed like a good opportunity to do that. These black bean crackers use black bean flour, which I made by tossing some dried black beans into my grain mill. The flour came out wonderfully soft and worked very well in a number of products, including these crackers! 1/2 c. black bean flour 1 Tblsp. oil 1/2-2/3 c. water salt to taste Preheat the oven to 375°.
Mix the salt and bean flour together, then slowly mix in the oil. Add half the water and mix well. Drop half a spoonful of batter onto the greased cookie sheet for each cracker. Bake for 5 minutes or until firm to the touch. Cool the crackers and serve as is or with dip. Half Baked Harvest - Made with Love. This is me wishing it was blueberry season. But, I am pretty sure that is the way most of us are feeling right about now. It’s the very last few days of winter and those can be some of the worst. I am currently looking out the window at a whiteout. So ya, I am so ready for spring. Sunshine, warmth and berries out the yazoo! Unfortunately, I am pretty sure that most berries are summer foods so I still have a few months. Please. If you wanted to, you could use strawberries in these, really any berry or dried fruit you love would work. I shouldn’t have. I can’t actually find dried blueberries where I live, so I used fresh ones that I dried out in the oven.
I’d buy extra. Alright, but let’s talk about the greek yogurt coating. Yes, it’s really greek yogurt that you have to let sit out (preferably overnight), so it dries and forms a coating. Oh, and the photo above? I was in the kitchen working with three five years old and well, they just sort of took over. Ingredients Instructions Related. 9 Healthy Homemade Protein Bar Recipes.
