Best Gluten-Free Crackers (Easy, Homemade & Vegan)

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to 350 ºF (180 ºC).

Step 2

In a food processor, blend the assortment of nuts, seeds, oatmeal, ground powder, and sea salt together.

Step 3

Incorporate the pulp by using the dough blade in the food processor or manually combining the nut mixture with the pulp in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Next, lay out a large piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Distribute the mixture across the paper, pressing it flat with your fingers.

Step 5

Partition and mold the dough into a square: If you are working with a large batch, split the dough into two equal portions, putting one section to the side. Use your hands to press and shape into a thick square.

Step 6

Stretch out the dough: Begin from the middle of the dough, slowly extending it into a rectangle with a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch or less. If the dough tears, revealing any gaps, simply take some excess dough from the edges to patch up these holes. Once done, replace the parchment paper and continue the rolling process.

Step 7

Optional topping for the dough: Evenly scatter your chosen toppings across the dough. See the Additional Notes section for more topping and flavoring suggestions.

Step 8

Slice the dough into cracker-sized pieces: Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to divide the dough into roughly 1x1 inch (2.5 x 2.5 cm) individual crackers. You can also opt to cut the crackers into square, diamond shapes or utilize cookie cutters for unique shapes.

Step 9

Relocate the parchment paper holding the crackers to a baking tray.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes: Place the tray in the oven and allow the crackers to bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges have a browning appearance. Bear in mind that thinner crackers will cook faster than thicker ones. As each cracker reaches your desired level of brownness, you can remove it and allow the others to continue baking. Meanwhile, prepare and cut the remaining dough for the next batch.

Step 11

Chill and preserve the crackers: Move the baked crackers to a wire rack to cool down entirely. They will become crisper as they cool. For storage, keep the crackers in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days. If the crackers lose their crispness over time, you can revive them by spreading them on a baking sheet and warming them in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.
