Crackers are another food I gave up for a long time until I figured this recipe out.
Garlic Onion Chives Crackers
There are many gluten free cracker options on the market but when you avoid gluten, dairy, soy, potatoes, rice and corn those options are basically zero. So, I put the effort into making these crackers because they make me feel halfway normal when it comes to food. I say effort because they take time and prep but are worth it in the end.
These crackers are great plain, paired with meat slices and veggies or crunch them up to use as croutons on your salads. However you choose to eat them, you’ll be satisfied.

Instructions
-
Start by making a flax egg.
-
Add 1 1/2 T of ground flaxseed meal and 1/3 C of water to a small bowl. Mix & set aside for 5 minutes or until thickened.
-
Next, add the following ingredients to a large bowl.
-
2 1/4 Cups almond flour
-
2 t chia seeds
-
2 t chives
-
1 t baking powder
-
1 t garlic powder
-
1 t fine sea salt
-
Blend well with a fork.
-
Then add your flax egg plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil to this mixture. Mix well. Your dough will be thick. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until you are ready to make.
-
Take your dough out of the refrigerator.
-
Place your dough on a piece of parchment paper then press, pinch and shape it, forming a circle.
-
Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll your dough until its 1/4 inch thick.
-
Slice into cracker pieces and transfer to a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20 min at 325°. Remove any crackers that are done. Bake the remaining crackers for another 5-10 minutes or until your desired color.
-
Allow to cool and store in an airtight container or Ziplock baggies. These last a few weeks in the cupboard, honestly maybe longer but they aren’t around long enough to find out.
