2 Ingredient Cheese Crackers

I love cheese crackers. Plain and simple, I just love them. I always have and I always will! They’re so addicting to me, and once I start eating them I just can’t stop. My kids are the same – goldfish, bunnies, cheez its.. It doesn’t matter which brand! I totally give these snacks to them on occasion, but they aren’t always the best snack option. So, I got to work in the kitchen to try and make something similar.

What makes these crackers great?

Almond flour: My kids usually get enough whole grains during meals, so I try to offer them snacks high in protein. This also helps them feel full longer. The fat and protein in almond flour makes it a GREAT option for a snack recipe.
2 ingredients: Yes, seriously, that’s it! Not only does that make this recipe super simple, but it also keeps these snacks healthier than filler & preservative packed packaged crackers.
Softness: These crackers are softer than your typical snack cracker, which makes them a great option for younger babies. Swap cheddar for a lower sodium cheese to make it more appropriate for babies 6-12 months!

These crackers don’t last long in our house because our kids like them so much. Ok, I’ll admit it, I eat a lot of them too! So, we usually don’t need to store them for very long. But, if you need to store these, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Cracker shape:

Cheese crackers before baking — *Tip: Use a pizza cutter if cutting int squares/rectangles*

These crackers can be any shape or size. The easiest way to make them is to use a pizza cutter to create square or rectangle shapes, because you won’t have any scraps that you’ll need to roll out again. Use a toothpick to poke a hole in the middle to make them resemble store bought snack crackers. But, I’ve also used small cutters to create fun shapes! You can make them holiday themed, use just have fun using assorted shapes.

Equipment

food processor or blender

Ingredients

1 cup blanched almond flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons water
*optional: 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, combine the almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, and water. Optionally, add 1/8 teaspoon salt. Blend until well combined.
Squish together to form a dough. Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin. It may be easier to place a sheet on top of the dough and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper.
Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into cracker-sized pieces.
Use a toothpick or the end of a utensil to poke a hole in the center of each cracker.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the crackers onto the baking sheet, making sure to separate them so they don’t touch. Optionally, sprinkle a little salt on top of the crackers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes, or until the crackers are crispy.
