When you make the decision to start eating healthy, your entire diet goes under review. Upon reflection, it’s often surprising how many unhealthy snack items have taken up residence in your daily routine.
By their nature, snacks have to be quick and easy, a short pause to refuel so that hunger leaves you alone for a few more hours. This is why unhealthy items are so often selected—a package from a vending machine or a bag grabbed from a drive-thru window.
But all of those unhealthy snacks are robbing you of your ideal body, of your best health, and of that real, pure energy boost that only wholesome food delivers. The good news is that wholesome snacking can be just as quick, simple, and convenient as junk food snacking. Really!
All it takes is a little bit of forethought.
Taking the time to bake a batch or two of these Everything Crackers will set you up for a week filled with smart, healthy snacking. And just like that, you take another giant step toward that leaner, healthier, more energetic you.
The best version of you.
Note: Using parchment paper to roll the dough out may seem like a hassle, but trust me on this one. The dough is pretty sticky, so the parchment paper really helps in getting it rolled out nice and thin.
4 cups blanched almond flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 tablespoon dried garlic
1 tablespoon dried onion
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out 2 large rectangles of parchment paper that fit on an 18 × 26-inch rimmed baking sheet.
Combine the almond flour, eggs, sea salt, and coconut palm sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until a dough forms.
In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients.
Place the dough ball between the 2 sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the parchment and dough to the baking sheet and remove the top layer of parchment paper. Lightly brush the dough with water and sprinkle with the topping mixture.
Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut the dough into 1-inch squares and pierce the center of each square with a fork. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until golden.
