Pecan Crackers - Wheat Free/Grain Free/Sugar Free

Pecan Crackers

Have you tried grain free crackers like Flackers and just not found them all that appealing?  To me they are just too different from the crackers I am used to.  These crackers though are really pretty similar, not too crisp, so they don't fall apart when you touch them, but not to stiff.  They have just the right amount of crunch.  Unfortunately, these are not dairy free.  I may do some experimenting to see if I can get them diary free, but the Parmesan does seem to give them a crunch that I think would be missing without it.

1/4 C parmesan cheese

3/4 C almond flour

3/4 C pecan meal

1/8 t dried basil

1/8 t garlic powder

1/8 t onion powder

1 egg

1 1/2 T olive oil

salt

 

Mix all dry ingredients then beat in egg and olive oil until it forms a stiff dough.  Lay down one piece of parchment and put the dough on top.  Cover it with a layer of plastic wrap and roll out with a rolling pin to the thickness of a cracker similar to wheat thins.  Sprinkle liberally with salt.  Cut into squares using a pizza cutter and bake at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the edges start to brown.  If you want crisper crackers, separate the squares and bake them for another 5 min.

These even hold up to spreadable cheese!
