Thai Sesame Crackers

Another cracker recipe on it's way.
This recipe is a variation of the Sesame Cracker recipe I posted last year which came from Elanaspantry.com. That woman is a genius!! This variation came when I realized I didn't have Herb de Provence OR 21 Seasoning Salute from Trader Joe's.

Here you go.

Thai Sesame Crackers
Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Flax Meal
  • 2 Cups Almond Flour/Meal (I used Honeyville Grains Blanched Almond Flour but Trader Joe's Almond meal will work in this recipe.)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Celtic Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Cup sesame seeds 
  • 2 Tbls curry powder
  • 2 Eggs, Whisked until frothy
  • 1 Tbls Sesame Chili Oil infused with hot chili (I got this at the Asian Market)
  • 1 Tbls Honey (optional)
Directions
  1. In large bowl, stir flax meal, almond flour, salt, garlic powder, sesame seeds, curry until well blended.
  2. In separate bowl whisk together eggs, oil and honey.
  3. Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until mixed well.
  4. Separate dough into three portions.
  5. Form each into a ball and place between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll out each ball to 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Place parchment paper on baking sheet and use a pizza cutter to cut 2 inch squares.
  7. Place in 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Half way through baking I turned the pan around in the oven because the crackers at the back of the oven were browning faster.
  8. Watch very carefully the last couple minutes. There is a fine line between lightly browned and burnt.
  9. Cook completely.
  10. Store in zip lock bag.
The original recipe came from Elana's Pantry. I changed it up some. Since I scored on the Flax Meal, I thought it would be fun to toss some into these crackers so I changed up one cup of almond flour for one cup of flax meal. It worked nicely. 

Flax is a great source of fiber and is rich in Omega 3's. 

These savory crackers have a nice spicy bite at the back of the tongue and are full of good wholesome ingredients. I use these as an alternative to corn chips and potato chips and they go great with homemade guacamole and salsa. They are also great with some almond butter slathered on.
With a little planning you can keep these savory crackers on hand too.

Tell me how you enjoy your crackers!!
