Gluten-free Three-Seed Crackers

Enjoy these crunchy, flavorful, healthy crackers with your favorite vegan butters, spreads, toppings, and cheeses.

The Gentle World kitchen is always a place for experimentation and innovation, and every now and then it pays off with a recipe that will last well into the future. Lately we’ve been enjoying the results in the form of these delicious home-made crackers, which not only make the ideal base for all our favorite toppings, but are also delicious to munch on just as they are.

While most people tend to buy the supermarket or health food store version, crackers are surprisingly easy to make, and this recipe is especially so. No special equipment is needed, and most ingredients (with the exception, perhaps, of tapioca flour) can be found in your typical vegan kitchen.

Variations to experiment with include the addition of finely chopped nuts such as macadamias, or finely chopped onion for a softer, more flavorful bite.

Basic Recipe:

1 cup cooked rice
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons tamari

Put all ingredients in a bowl and stir. Batter should be on the dry side. Add a tablespoon or two of water if necessary, for mixing. 

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Turn batter onto paper and then cover with a second piece of parchment paper. Roll out (using a rolling pin) and cut lightly into pieces around two to three inches on each side. Crackers will remain connected, but will break apart easily once baked.

Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes. Crackers should be turning brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to make sure they don’t start to burn.
