Gluten-Free Garlic and Sesame Crackers

 Gluten Free Garlic and Sesame Crackers

These tasty crackers are both healthy and addicting.
Stop by Apple Wellness for gluten-free baking products!


Whisk together the dry ingredients:

1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup millet flour
1/2 cup pecan or almond meal
1/4 cup quinoa flour or brown rice flour
1 tablespoon potato starch
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon dried thyme or dried crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Stir in:

1/4 cup good olive oil
Ener-G Egg Replacer for 1 egg whisked with warm water
1/3 to 1/2 cup warm water, to start
1 tablespoon honey, raw agave or molasses

Stir the ingredients until a stiff dough forms- you'll need to press the dough out into a thin layer, so if it appears too dry, or it falls apart easily, add one tablespoon of warm water and mix; repeat until the dough is malleable but not too wet.
Divide the dough in half.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or a reusable Exopat.
Using oiled hands flatten and spread half the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Make as thin a layer as possible. Use the edge of a rubber spatula to straighten outside edges, if you like.
Score the flattened dough into cracker sized pieces. I used a pizza cutter to do this.


To bake you'll need:

Sea salt
Sesame seeds (or flax seeds, or hemp seeds)

Sprinkle the scored dough with salt and sesame seeds.
Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes till firm and slightly crisp (they will crisp up more as they cool). I use an Exopat, so keep that in mind; they may cook faster without one. Keep an eye on them.
Remove and allow the crackers to cool on a rack.
We bag and freeze the cooled crackers. If you find they soften from humidity, reheat them on a baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.


Makes 36 crackers.

Some of these, such as parabens (one of the most widely used preservatives in
conventional personal care products), have been directly linked to breast cancer.

cosmetics and help educate them on the benefits of food-grade,

Product Highlight: Fiber 35 Fitsmart Shake


The Fiber35 Fit Smart Shake is a new, nutrient-rich meal supplement at Apple Wellness. Each serving contains 20 grams of whey protein and 10 grams of natural acacia fiber to help fill your stomach and leave you feeling satisfied.

Fit Smart is unique from other proteins because it contains such a large amount of fiber. Fiber helps maintain cardiovascular health, bowel regularity, cholesterol, and blood sugar, and also promotes healthy weight management.

Weight loss should not be about simply cutting calories. It requires a commitment to choosing the right foods, exercising regularly, and giving your body the necessary tools to function at its best every single day. Fit Smart is part of the Fiber35 Diet, developed by natural health practitioner and natural consultant Brenda Watson. This system is based on eating 35 grams of fiber every day, and combines the health benefits and weight loss power of fiber to help you achieve healthy weight management - for life.

By including fiber in your diet, you're allowing your body to naturally cleanse and promote weight loss. Fit Smart is perfect for anyone wanting to lose weight healthily and naturally.
