Raw Crackers

Cracker Base

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond pulp, from making almond milk
• 1 cup oat flour, ground from raw oat groats
• 1/2 cup flax, ground, soaked for an hour in 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup zucchini, puree 
• 1/2 cup hemp seeds, opt

Directions:

 Mix by hand or in a food processor. Choose one of the following mixes to add:

 Italian Mix

• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp rosemary, dried
• 1 tsp oregano,dried
• 1 tsp basil, dried

 Sweet Mix

• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup date paste, (5 dates soaked in 1/8 cup water for 20 minutes. Blend or mash to make a paste)
• 1/2 cup raisins, opt 

Directions:

Mix into a “dough”, adding a little of water if needed. Spread onto a teflex sheet about 1/3 inch thick. Score. Place in the dehydrator at 120 degrees for about 4 hours. Remove crackers from teflex sheets and place on the mesh sheets and continue dehydrating till very dry. Store in a covered container in the fridge. Will keep for a few weeks.

Alternately, you can shape the Italian crackers into circles and make crusts or taco shells or the sweet crackers like bagels or cookies and place in the dehydrator. If you don’t have a dehydrator, never fear. You can put your crackers on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper in the oven on the lowest temperature for 45-60 minutes, remove from oven and turn crackers over, place back in oven until dry.
