Ingredients

Dry

1 c wholegrain flour (e.g. spelt/wheat)
2 tbsp ground flax seeds
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp vege stock powder (optional)
¼ tsp ground black pepper (optional)

Wet

5 tbsp coconut oil firm
3 tbsp chilled water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Blitz dry ingredients in food processor until combined. Add wet ingredients and pulse until crumbly. The mixture should form a dough when pressed together. If not add water as needed.
Split mixture in half and roll onto a floured surface until 1/4cm thick. Cut into rectangles and place on a lightly floured baking tray. Re-roll any offcuts and cut again until you've used up all the dough.
Bake for 12 mins until golden then cool. Store in a glass sealed jar for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy on their own or with your favourite dips.

Notes

Make it gluten free: swap the wholegrain flour for ⅓ c buckwheat flour, ⅓ c brown rice flour, and ⅓ c tapioca flour. Or 1 cup of your favourite gluten free blend.
You can grind your own flax seeds, or replace with ground chia seeds. Alternatively add 1 tsp of guar gum (these all help the crackers to bind).
If you have onion powder or garlic powder, try adding ½ tsp to the mix - even more delicious!
