Gluten Free Cheese Crackers are a delicious cheesy cracker snack made with almond flour. 

With just six ingredients, this is a basic cracker you can dress up with spices or simplify.


So easy to make you’ll find excuses to whip up some this weekend for your next get together or happy hour on the patio with friends and family.

Ten minutes of prep, an hour to freeze the dough.

Slice and bake (12-15 minutes +) and you’ll have homemade gluten free, delicious crackers to go with your favorite summertime anytime dip or snack. 

Gather all ingredients before you begin. Use any vegetable oil on hand, such as canola or light olive oil. Be sure to choose a strong, salty cheese to flavor the crackers.

 

Form the dough into logs and freeze for an hour or up to 24 before thinly slicing and baking for 12-15 minutes or until browned and  crisp on both sides.

Serving ideas:

Serve with cheeses, dip, salsa or fruit.

Spice it up: Add in your favorite herb or spice, such as thyme or cayenne. Use 1/2 tsp dry herb or spice or 1-2 tsp fresh.

Dairy Free: Replace cheese with nuts, seeds or herbs.

Vegan: Leave out egg and use vegan cheese or see above.

Cookies: Leave out cheese. Replace oil with 3 T coconut oil,

add 2-3 T honey or agave nectar and ½ t vanilla.

Before baking, roll in sugar or chopped nuts.
