High protein crackers

Although making your own crackers can be a bit fiddly, there are many advantages:
– Better ingredients
– No additives & preservatives
– You can tailor to your child

These have a great taste, texture & are full of protein & omega 3’s

Recipe – High protein crackers *

¼ cup quinoa flakes
¼ cup wholemeal flour
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 ¼ Tbs butter (in small cubes)
1/3 heaped cup grated cheese (I used tasty)
¼ tsp sesame oil (optional but gives a lovely depth of flavour)
1 Tbs milk

Method

Heat oven to 180°
Blitz the quinoa flakes (to break up)
Add flour, baking powder, salt, butter, cheese & blitz to form a crumb
Add sesame oil & milk
Bring dough together
Roll dough between silicon sheets or baking paper (thinner is crispier)
Cut into crackers
Bake until browning, approx. 10 mins
Cool on a rack
