baby eating cracker

I swear, we do eat meals in our home, but we are also super big snackers! It’s like a vicious cycle.. I want my daughter to eat her meals, so I don’t want her snacking all day, but I don’t want her hungry either. So I at least try to be intentional about what I am feeding her at snack time in case it limits how much of her meal she actually eats!

She will almost always go for a bowl of berries, an apple with almond butter, carrots/broccoli and hummus, or and avocado, so I’m good with it!

But one item that we absolutely cannot keep on our shelves at home is Simple Mills Almond Flour crackers! I mean seriously, they are soooo good! We like them plain, dipped in Treeline (cashew) cheese, used for salsa, topped with salmon, you name it… we’ll eat them! We go through so many boxes and are grateful Costco carries them!

Truly, the whole family loves them so its easy to go through a box in one day! However, I really try not to always eat from a box- even if the ingredients are clean, it’s not as fresh as it could be! 

Welp, I think I found a solid replacement! The texture of these homemade ones actually may be preferred! The only problem with them, is they also don’t stay on our shelf very long, either! I made a double batch on Tuesday and another double batch on Thursday so we would have enough for the weekend!

Homemade Crackers Recipe:

  • 1 cups Almond Meal
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
  • 1/4 cup Ground Flax
  • 1 egg
  • 1/8 cup oil (I used avocado oil)
  • Spices (I really like to add onion powder, garlic powder, himalayan salt and pepper. Also, thyme was a great addition!)

***I highly recommend doubling this recipe

Mix almond meal, coconut flour, flax, and spices in a bowl. Add in oil (liquid form) and egg. Mix with a spoon until well combined. This will seem slightly dry, but you don’t want mushy crackers! Once well blended, mix a little more with hand and form into a ball. Place 1 batch on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Place another piece of parchment on top and use a rolling pin to roll out. We like ours pretty thin so they crisp well. Use a pizza cutter to slice into squares. Bake for 12-18 minutes (thickness and ovens will make it vary). Outer edges will look browned. Let cool, and enjoy!!
