Description

These Cheese-y Chickpea Flour Crackers are a vegan, grain-free, and high-protein snack perfect for those looking for a healthy crunchy treat. Made with chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, and a hint of Dijon mustard, these crackers bake up crispy and flavorful. They are easy to prepare and ideal for serving with dips or enjoying on their own.

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpea flour (sifted, if lumpy, plus more for dusting)
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1.5 teaspoons cane sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (such as avocado oil)
  • 4 tablespoons warm water (more if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Optional Topping

  • Large grain sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by setting it aside for later use.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the sifted chickpea flour, nutritional yeast flakes, cane sugar, and fine sea salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Add wet ingredients and combine: Add the neutral oil, Dijon mustard, and 4 tablespoons of warm water to the dry mixture. Stir continuously until the dough forms a smooth, stiff mass. It may seem dry at first, but keep mixing. Add more water only if necessary to ensure the dough is not sticky but cohesive.
  4. Divide and shape dough: Divide the dough in half. Take one half and shape it into a rough rectangle or square on a large piece of parchment paper lightly dusted with chickpea flour, approximately the size of your baking sheet.
  5. Roll dough thin: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out very thin, about a 12-inch by 8-inch rectangle, repairing tears by pressing scraps back into place to create an even sheet.
  6. Cut crackers: Using a pizza cutter or large knife, cut the dough into 40 cracker-sized pieces. Optionally, brush off excess flour with a damp pastry brush and sprinkle with large grain sea salt if desired.
  7. Bake: Place the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crackers turn a light golden brown.
  8. Cool and break apart: Remove from the oven and lift the parchment paper onto a cooling rack. Allow the crackers to cool completely before breaking them apart along the cut lines.
  9. Repeat with remaining dough: Repeat the rolling, cutting, and baking process with the remaining dough half.

Notes

  • If you prefer, cane sugar can be substituted with maple syrup or another mild natural sweetener, adjusting the wet ingredients slightly to maintain dough consistency.
  • Make sure to dust the parchment paper with chickpea flour to prevent sticking while rolling.
  • Crackers should be stored in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • To ensure even baking, roll the dough as thin as possible without tearing.
