Description
Vegan “cheez-its” made with nutritional yeast and a gluten-free almond oat base. Tahini gives these crackers a sesame twist!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 TBSP nutritional yeast (+more as desired for “cheezy” flavor)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2/3 cup super fine almond flour
- 1/3 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional)
- 1/8 tsp paprika
- pinch of turmeric (optional for color)
- 3 TBSP Eden Foods Organic Roasted Sesame Tahini
- 4–5 TBSP filtered cold water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Next, add the dry ingredients to a food processor and process everything to thoroughly combine.
- Add the tahini and pulse everything again until it’s crumbly.
- Add cold water 1 TBSP at a time until it forms a loose dough. I used 4 TBSP, but use the least amount possible so you don’t have watered down dough!
- Remove the dough from processor and form it into a loose ball with your hands.
- Lay the ball on a lightly floured surface – I found parchment worked great as my flat surface – dust the top with flour, and roll the dough to 1/8th inch thick with a lightly floured rolling pin.
- Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut cookie cutter shape to cut the dough into square crackers.
- Using a toothpick or chopstick, dot the centers to mimic the appearance of Cheez-Its.
- Bake the crackers for 15-18 minutes or until they’re puffy and golden brown. For a crispier cracker, bake until a deeper golden brown.
- Store leftover crackers in an airtight container for up to one week.
