simple Quinoa crackers in a bowl

I help many clients who suffer from multiple food allergies, sensitivities and/or intolerances and follow very specific dietary restrictions. While there are plenty of healthy products on the shelves these days , it is also nice to have a few recipes to keep on hand like this simple quinoa cracker.

Having dietary staples accessible makes complying to dietary restrictions must easier! For instance, many people may not be able to snack on their favorite cookies, crackers, or pretzels so they may start feeling deprived and unsatisfied. By coming up with a list of compliant snack alternatives, people often feel more at ease with the plan.

How to Make Quinoa Crackers

These simple quinoa crackers include just six ingredients.

After you bake the dough, cut even squares using a pizza-cutter. Allow for some cooling prior to cutting to prevent the crackers from crumbling. Make a whole batch and store them in an airtight container for a filling and delicious snack on throughout the week.simple Quinoa cracker cutting dough

Their hearty texture and nutty flavor pair great with sliced cheese or a dollop of hummus.
