Recipe: Easy Gluten-Free Crackers

This simple recipe yields crispy, flavorful crackers that are perfect for snacking or entertaining.

For example, you can break them into irregular pieces or cut into shapes before baking. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients (Makes 20–24 Crackers)

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch)
  • 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (omit for low-sodium diets)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (or rosemary, thyme, or smoked paprika)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, ground flax seeds, tapioca starch, salt, oregano, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  • Gradually add water, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but hold together. Add an extra teaspoon of water if too dry.
  • Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to 1/8-inch thickness for thin, crispy crackers.
  • For irregular pieces, leave whole and break after baking. For uniform crackers, score into squares or rectangles with a knife or pizza cutter.
  • Transfer the parchment with the dough to the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and crispy. Rotate the tray halfway for even baking.
  • Let cool completely on the tray to maximize crunch.
  • Break into pieces if left whole, or separate along scored lines.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5–7 days.

Ready in under 30 minutes, these crackers stay crispy for 5–7 days, ideal for meal prep.

  • Spice Variations: Try cumin, garlic powder, or chili flakes for different flavors.
