    A grain-free take on the Swedish crispbread Knäckebröd. These paleo crackers are crispy, crunchy, and delicious with all your favorite cracker accoutrements. Effortless to make and imminently customizable. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, nut-free, and paleo-friendly. Thanks to Bob's Red Mill for sponsoring this post!

    Hand holding a crispy paleo cracker

    I'm going on month 8 of an interesting elimination diet that I started earlier this year for health reasons. Among the things I had to cut out of my diet were eggs, almonds, yeast, grains, and dairy. This meant I couldn't have bread of any kind – even most grain-free breads rely on eggs and almond flour.

    My most insatiable craving during this time was avocado toast. Pre-elimination diet, I regularly made it using a thick slice of gluten-free sourdough toasted in a skillet with ghee, and chunks of firm-ripe avocado folded with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until it formed a chunky emulsion. I could not stop thinking about it.

    Swedish Crackers to the Rescue

    Then one happy day, my dear friend Mia, who's half Swedish, sent me a recipe for the traditional crispbread called Knäckebröd, a crunchy rustic cracker made with loads of seeds bound together with flour, water, salt, and oil. Mia said, "We eat knäckebröd on a daily basis. For Swedes it’s our crack! It’s traditionally made with rye flour. So good!"

    Mia's recipe called for buckwheat or spelt flour, but I decided to try making it with cassava flour realizing that if it turned out, I'd *actually* be able to eat it.

    It worked like a charm. And when I piled a rustic grain-free cracker with avocados, pickled onion, cucumber, and dill, I practically wept with relief.

    Cassava Flour Crackers = Sneakily Grain-Free Crackers

    Bob's Red Mill Cassava flour has been my savior during this strange year. With it, I've made all sorts of goodies to satisfy my sweet tooth: paleo cookies, zucchini bread, chocolate tart, cobbler, banana bread, pie crust, and loads more recipes that are in the works!

    Cassava flour comes from a tuber and is commonly used in cuisines of South America, Asia, and Africa. It's grain-free, but it actually resembles glutenous flour more than many gluten-free grain flours thanks to its starchy, sticky quality and mild taste. Cassava flour is also prebiotic, meaning it makes a happy environment for good gut bacteria to flourish. What's not to love?

    For these paleo crackers, I swapped cassava flour in for the traditional flours used for knäckebröd – rye or buckwheat – and it only needed a little extra water to help the dough come together.

    These paleo crackers are indistinguishable from their gluteny counterpart. They also happen to be vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free.

    ingredients for gluten-free crackers recipe with cassava flour

    Ingredients

    • This paleo cracker recipe starts with cassava flour from Bob's Red Mill. Look for cassava flour with other alternative flours at your grocer, or order it directly from Bob's. If you don't have cassava flour, you can make these crackers gluten-free with buckwheat or corn flour. Or try a more traditional version with rye flour or another glutenous flour such as spelt or barley.
    • A mix of seeds make these deliciously flavorful, crisp, and nutritious. The classic version uses equal amounts of sesame, flax, and sunflower seeds. But you could try using just one type of seed, or experiment with other mild seeds such as pumpkin, black sesame, poppy, or chia.
    • A little bit of olive oil adds richness and some savory flavor, but other oils could easily stand in.
    • Water brings the dough together and salt adds flavor.

    Rustic Paleo Crackers with Cassava Flour & Seeds

    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    A grain-free take on the Swedish crispbread Knäckebröd. These paleo crackers are crispy, crunchy, and delicious with all your favorite cracker accoutrements (see suggestions in the main post). Effortless to make and imminently customizable (see note for suggestions). Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, nut-free, and paleo-friendly.
    Prep Time: 30 minutes
    Cook Time: 50 minutes
    Total: 1 hour 20 minutes
    Servings: 40 crackers

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup (160 g) cassava flour (or buckwheat, rye, or corn flour for traditional, non-paleo version)
    • ½ cup (85 g) flax seeds
    • ½ cup (70 g) sesame seeds
    • ½ cup (60 g) sunflower seeds
    • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (265 ml) boiling water (reduce to 1 cup if using a flour other than cassava)
    • ¼ cup (55 g) olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons for brushing
    • flaky salt, for sprinkling

    Instructions

    • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 300ºF.
    • Stir together the flour, seeds, and salt in a large bowl.
    • Add the olive oil and water, stir to combine. Let sit 10 minutes, then knead with your hands in the bowl into a smooth ball. Divide in two.
    • Roll one piece of dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a large, thin sheet that’s about the size of a baking sheet. If the dough cracks or tears, just squish it back together. You can trim away the wonky edges, stick them into the corners, and continue rolling to make a rectangle. Repeat with the other piece of dough.
    • Brush the dough all over with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt.
    • Bake the crackers until light golden, about 40-50 minutes (check at 15 minutes if using a different flour as some bake much faster than others).
    • Let the crackers cool, then break them into 2 to 3-inch pieces. If the crackers aren’t crisp enough after cooling, just return them to the oven for another 10 minutes or so.
    • Store the crackers airtight for up to a week or two… if you can make them last that long!

    Notes

    Substitution suggestions:
    For a non-paleo version, try these with buckwheat or corn flour. Or for a more traditional gluten-ful version, use rye flour or spelt flour. 
    Feel free to play fast and loose with the seeds, using any combination you like. You can try adding hemp, poppy, chia, and/or pumpkin seeds. 
    Seasoning suggestions (add to the dough or on top of the crackers):
    -minced fresh rosemary
    -everything bagel seasoning
    -1 teaspoon cumin or fennel seed
    -oregano
    -garlic and/or onion powder
    -nigella seed
    -flavorful oil, such as walnut or toasted sesame
    -chile flakes, Aleppo pepper, or togarashi
    -nutritional yeast
    Nutrition values are for 1 of 40 crackers.

        Hi Jillian, thanks so much for getting my book - I hope you love it! I'm sorry you're suffering from digestive issues - welcome to the club, lol! My book is heavy on the grains and dairy, so LMK if you'd like substitution suggestions for any of the recipes when it arrives and I'd be happy to help. Hope you feel better soon.

      Hi Alanna,
      These look delicious, love anything with seeds in them.
      Can you tell me if I am right in my calculations, is the boiling water equivalent to 270mls, I am from Australia so our cup measurement is different to USA.
      Hope you are staying safe.
      Thanks Carol.

      Hi Alanna,
      I'm making these now with buckwheat flour. It's a dark flour so I can't judge doneness by a golden color and have no experience of baking crackers. Any suggestions?
      I'm so pleased to find this gf cracker recipe and look forward to experimenting with all kinds of seeds.
      Thanks.

      Hi Alanna,

      These look delish! Wondering if they are baked on the parchment or straight on the baking sheet. If on the sheet, do you coat it with oil.
      Thx

      I have IBS, and so I have to buy a particular brand of crackers at the grocery store that cost anywhere from $3-4 a box for a few servings:( I was excited to try out cassava flour since I have always heard good things, and I was pumped to find this recipe. The crackers turned out to be scrumptious, and are so much more cost effective than buying them at the store. Thank you for this recipe! I will definitely be making more.

      Super yummy and crunchy. And easy! Made with poppy, sesame, chia and sunflower seeds. Added nutritional yeast after baking to half the batch. Took much longer to get crispy than expected; and I do have an separate oven thermometer. Maybe humid climate. Will definitely make lots more with different flavors.

        Mmm that seed combo sounds DIVINE, as does nutritional yeast. I must try that next time! Let me know what other variations you try.

        I'm always surprised by how long these take to crisp up too. You did the right thing leaving them in as long as they needed!

          I just made them again (same seed mixture as my last batch) and rolled them thinner and they cooked much faster! I left in oven again until nearly cool. I made half with nutritional yeast sprinkled on top prior to cooking plus chili flakes. Super yummy! Thanks again.

      This is the second time I've made these fabulous crackers. The recipe is highly adaptable in terms of subbing seeds. The first time I made them I didn't have any whole flax seeds so I used flax meal. They turned out so crispy and flavorful! I skipped the salt on top and instead topped them with a sprinkle of TJ's Everything But The Bagel seasoning, which has salt in it. This time I had only half the amount of sesame seeds so I used chia seeds instead. So crispy and delicious once again! THANK YOU for a recipe I can finally tolerate and one that is easy to make and tasty!

        I'm so glad you're enjoying the recipe Laura! I love the sound of using flax meal in place of the seeds - I'm going to try that next time! Chia sounds perfect here too, and everything sprinkle - YUM. Definitely trying that!

      Hi Alanna! Was wondering if I might use a combination of cassava flour and buckwheat? I have several bags of buckwheat and would love to put some of it to use. If so, should I adjust the amount of water too? Thanks for your thoughts - love your recipes and can’t wait to try this one!

      • Alanna says

        January 17, 2021 at 9:25 pm

        That sounds delicious! I *think* cassava might be slightly more absorbent than buckwheat flour, so you could decrease the water by 1 tablespoon if you use equal parts of those flours. You can add more water if needed to get the consistency shown in the photos. Please let me know they turn out!

      Thank you for sharing this recipe, best cracker around!

      The first time I made them I followed the measurements to the letter and they were difficult to roll out. Maybe Otto's cassava is more absorbent than Bob's? It was a bit of a workout to get them thin. During subsequent attempts, I have upped the water considerably (as much as 1.5 cups) to make a pliable (play doh like) consistency which makes them easy to roll out very thin. Baking time is only a little longer so, totally worth it.
      I added a generous heap of nutritional yeast to the recipe for a bit of umami. I've also made them with finely chopped pecans and raisins to give them a little dimension. If the raisins aren't finely chopped, they plump up when cooking and burn a bit so, I make sure they are well chopped and incorporated.
      Every version I've made of these is my hubby's "favourite" - LOL. I LOVE this recipe - thanks from a grateful grainfree couple :)

        I'm so glad you two love these so much! That pecan raisin version sounds DELICIOUS. And adding more water until you get the right consistency is PERFECT - thanks for the feedback about Otto's flour! That's really helpful to know. Thanks very much for the note and rating, I appreciate it!

      My dough is too sticky as all I had was tapioca flour. Do you suggest I continue to keep adding seeds until it thickens? Or perhaps the batch is ruined by the flour of choice? Thank you.

        April 17, 2021 at 6:32 pm

        Hi Reni, Hm, tapioca is quite different from cassava even though they come from the same root. Cassava is the whole root, ground, while tapioca is just the starch. So the two behave quite differently in recipes. Do you have any other flour you can try adding to the batter to save it?

    Fresh on TBG: GF Rhubarb Cake with Almond Flour & Fresh on TBG: GF Rhubarb Cake with Almond Flour & Olive Oil
✨
I don't remember tasting rhubarb until I moved from the LA area up to Northern California for college. There I fell in love with the tart stalks. Luckily for me, I also fell in love with a guy who's mom grows loads of rhubarb in her yard! We went to visit last weekend and came home with bags full of rhubarb and plump Meyer lemons from Mary's abundant garden. Just the ingredients needed to make this cake! 
✨
This GF rhubarb cake tastes like spring on a plate: redolent with the flavors of almond, olive oil, bright citrus, and tangy rhubarb. It looks deceptively fancy, with slices of pink-hued stalks arranged in concentric circles. But don't be fooled: the batter comes together with just a bowl and a whisk in a matter of minutes.
✨
If you don't have any rhubarb on hand, don't fret: swap in other fruit such as fresh or frozen berries, cherries, peaches, or anything else you like. 
✨
This recipe uses the GF flours almond, oat, sweet rice, and millet. I’ve also tested a grain-free version with almond, cassava, and tapioca flours that works beautifully. Make it DF by using plant yogurt.

I was craving this fluffy, springy, gently-spiced carrot cake the other day, so I tested a grain-free and naturally-sweetened version. It’s pretty tasty, and it also happens to be kosher for Passover! 
🥕
Now you can make this elevated classic with a gluten-free flour blend (sweet rice, oat, millet, and tapioca flours) or go grain-free with cassava and coconut flours. Either way, this beauty comes together in minutes with one bowl and a spatula, and it bakes up with a pillowy and tender crumb. 
🥕
Make it in a 9-inch round pan for a single layer cake, or double or triple the recipe for more layers. Or use a square or rectangular pan for sheet cake. Gussy it up with rainbow carrot ribbons, or drizzle with maple or honey on top. 
🥕
I’ve linked to my traditional less-sweet cream cheese frosting in the post, as well as a vegan cream cheese frosting recipe that I make with @miyokoscreamery plant-based butter and cream cheese. Or you can go paleo and top it with whipped coconut cream or thick coconut yogurt. Feel free to add any carrot cake mix-ins you like – pineapple, raisins, shredded coconut, or toasted nuts.

While I didn’t grow up in a religious family, I loved putting together this roundup of sweet treats that happen to be kosher for Passover. I don’t know if it’s the pandemic, my age (I’ll be 40 this year!😳) or following such inspiring Jewish foodies (Jewdies?) as @jakecohen, @zenbelly, @whatjewwannaeat, @predominantly_paleo , and @estherandloretta , among others, but I’ve been feeling super nostalgic for Jewish cuisine lately.
✨
Also, I had no idea how complicated the rules of Passover really are! I knew that wheat and yeasted baked goods were strictly verboten, in order to honor the hardship of our people traversing the dessert without time to stop and let their bread rise. But I didn’t realize that certain groups observe stricter rules, avoiding all foods that even *look* like grains, such as beans, legumes, and even cardamom! 
✨
I even asked you all in my stories to weigh in on the heated debate about baking soda and baking powder. Apparently they are *technically* kosher for Passover according to the letter of the law, even though I and many others always thought they were to be avoided. 
✨
Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you go meshuga for these recipes! A few favorites: 

1. GF Vegan Chocolate Tahini Tart
2. Brown Butter Macaroons
3. Vegan Key Lime Pie
4. Paleo Crepes
5. Pot De Creme
6. Almond Poppy Seed Eton Mess
7. No-Bake Brownie Ice Cream Sandos
