Paleo Garlic & Herb Cracker Recipe

Crackers are one of the things a lot of people miss on the paleo diet. Since most crackers are made from grains they are a no-no on this diet. These crackers are made from almond flour so it is approved for grain-free diets like paleo or GAPS diet. It also has a good amount of some really healthy herbs. Both garlic and basil have antibacterial qualities. Basil is also very high in vitamin k, a vitamin important for blood clotting (especially important for pregnant mothers).

My son turned 1 year in August and since then he has developed a much bigger appetite for solid foods then he had before. However, he is a bit picky about his food choices so I have been experimenting with a lot of new things. He definitely likes to feed himself so this cracker recipe has been one of my recent successes with him. It is great on its own or even better with homemade hummus on top (although this linked recipe is not paleo, hummus can be made with zucchini instead or chic peas to make it paleo-approved).

Paleo Garlic & Herb Crackers

• 3 1/2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• 2 tbsp. garlic powder
• 2 tbsp. basil
• 2 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
• 2 pastured eggs

Mix together all of the dry ingredients until well combined. In a separate bow, whisk together the melted oil and the eggs. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix with your hands to get it well combined. Place parchment paper on the counter and roll out half of the dough. Use a pizza cutter to cut into squares. Transfer the paper onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes. Let cool before removing from the cookie sheet and repeat with second half of the dough.

Store at room temperature in an air tight container like a mason jar.

Here is my son enjoying one of these crackers!
