    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.

    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.
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

            Oh no, I'm very sorry to hear that! Hmmm I've never had an issue with the crackers sticking, but I do use coated parchment paper so it must depend on the brand. In that case I would definitely oil the parchment first next time. I'm so glad the crackers were tasty, if a bit on the papery side! Let me know if you give it another try. :)

      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.

        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!

      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!

        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!

      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 :)

      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?

      Wow! These are fantastic! I used 1/2 C cooked quinoa, 1/2 C Sunflower seeds, 1/2 C Chia seeds , and 3 T of Everything But The Bagel Seasoning…Did NOT brush with EVOO or add extra salt…

      Best tip ever….after 15 minutes in oven..…take a pizza cutter and slice these up into desired sizes! The cutter slices through the seeds easily, and these cuts aid in making them bake faster and more evenly! Bake and check every 15 minutes…mine were ready in about 45 minutes total.

      We are huge snacker here, and have gluten sensitivities..these are so easy and much cheaper than buying store bought ones!

      I used sesame seeds, and because I didn't have flax seeds and sunflower seeds, I used almost 1/2 cup of hemp seeds topped off with more sesame seeds. Thought better of it, so I ran to the store for flax seeds and sunflower seeds, so I did 1/4 of each. My dough was extremely sticky, so I added more flour and a handful of sunflower seeds. I was thinking the hemp hearts sort of cooked from the boiling water, so I thought I may have ruined the batch. I was never able to knead it into a ball, so I basically scooped it onto the parchment paper. To my surprise, they were delicious. (topped off with olive oil and everything seasoning). Loved the tip to score them 15 minutes into baking! These are DELICIOUS and crispy. Can't wait to make other variations!! Thank you so much!!!

      Alana! You are Amazing! These are literally the best crackers we’ve ever tasted. Gluten-Free or otherwise. Actually, a bit too yummy, we might have munched the entire batch in 48 hours. No guilt though ;) We are doing the Wildfit program and love it, but seriously missing the crunchy goodness of crackers. So thank you so much for restoring happiness in the munchy crunchy department of grain free goodness. <3 <3

      Love, love, love this recipe. I have made it numerous times and have a few things to share. All cassava flour does not seem to be the same. First time I made these with a brand other than the one you suggested, they were too wet but turned out great anyway. Second time dough was too dry but still turned out yummy. Third time and all times since I finally got the dough just right. Apparently, persistence has paid off. Since I have never had much luck getting crackers consistently the same thickness when rolling them out, I have been using a tortilla press to make the crackers and then just break them up rustic style. Works great. I appreciate all your hard work developing and posting your recipes. I have become a fan!

        This is such helpful feedback! I'm so glad you were able to figure out the right hydration for the dough with the different brand of cassava flour. Can I ask which brand you used and how much liquid you added to get the right consistency?

        The tortilla press trick is genius! I'll have to try that next time.

      The brand I was using was Terrasoul. With the recommended water amount it was super wet so I kept adding more flour and more flour until it was still wet but usable. Of course it is possible I had either the flour or water measurement wrong. I didn't think I did but you never know. I'm sorry but I really don't remember what proportion of liquid to flour I used. I think I have made it enough times that now I can tell when it is right. I don't know about cassava flour but other flours I have used at times vary. Humidity in the air? Not sure.

      The other thing I forgot to mention is that I use avocado oil rather than olive oil although I am sure olive oil would be wonderful. Also I haven't found it necessary to use parchment paper and bake them on a dry sheet pan.

      I really appreciate the fact that you include alternate ingredients that can be used through out your recipes. Very helpful and probably cuts way down on the questions.

    Panzanella is a glorious way to feature summer pro Panzanella is a glorious way to feature summer produce. Toasted bread sops up juices from ripe tomatoes while basil and olive oil add punch. I (@the_bojon_gourmet ) like adding @hodofoods Moroccan tofu cubes for instant protein and extra flavor. They give this salad marinated feta vibes while keeping it vegan!

To stay with the Mediterranean theme, I add kalamata olives, cucumber, and a kicky oregano dressing. Think Greek salad meets panzanella!

Serve this right away as a vegan main dish, or bring it to a picnic or potluck. Get the recipe @hodofoods! #panzanella

    Paleo Vegan Berry Peach Cobbler 🫐🍑 This rus Paleo Vegan Berry Peach Cobbler 🫐🍑

This rustic summer fruit dessert combines berries and peaches with floofy #glutenfree biscuits. Swapping in finely ground @go_raw organic sprouted pumpkin seeds in place of almond flour makes this nut-free as well. Pumpkin seeds give the biscuits a lovely green hue and loads of buttery flavor. Don’t forget the ice cream! 

Fruit:
1 ¼ pounds peaches or nectarines, in thick wedges (4 cups)
4 ounces (1 cup) blueberries
3 tablespoons (30 g) maple syrup
2 teaspoons tapioca flour
pinch fine sea salt

Biscuits:
½ cup (75 g) cassava or GF AP flour
½ cup (70 g) @go_raw sprouted pumpkin seeds, finely ground
3 tablespoons (30 g) maple sugar or coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons (56 g) cold, unsalted butter or vegan butter in ¼-inch dice
¼ cup (60 g) coconut yogurt
¼ cup (60 g) plant milk 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

for finishing:
2 teaspoons maple or coconut sugar
¼ teaspoon cardamom or cinnamon
1 tablespoon plant milk
plant-based vanilla ice cream, for serving

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400ºF.

In a large bowl, toss together the peach slices, maple syrup, tapioca flour, and salt. Scrape into a baking dish (7x10” oval or 9” pie plate) and bake until the fruit is warm and juicy, 15-20 minutes.

Whisk together the cassava and pumpkin seed flours, maple sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold butter bits and rub with your fingers until the butter is somewhat worked in with some pea-sized bits remaining.

In a small bowl, stir together the 2 teaspoons maple sugar and the cinnamon for topping the biscuits.

Place the yogurt, milk, and vanilla in a small saucepan. Place over a low flame and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is hot and steamy. Pour the hot dairy mixture into the flour/butter mixture and quickly but gently stir with a flexible silicone spatula until just combined. Scoop small lumps of dough over the fruit. Brush with the milk and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake the cobbler until the biscuits are golden on top and cooked through and the fruit is bubbling vigorously, 20-30 minutes. Serve warm.

These GF shortcake biscuits are tender and buttery thanks to a blend of gluten-free flours (almond, oat, and rice) plus butter and cream. I’ve included dairy-free and vegan options too! 

✨Tip: if you don’t have any whipped cream on hand, use thick coconut yogurt for a tasty dairy free option like I did here. 

Bojon appétit my loves!
