Homemade Nut Thin Crackers

Post by Paula Jahn, Co-owner and Dietitian at Nourish Northwest

Crackers don’t have to be processed, boxed and full of preservatives. These crackers are super easy to make and are every bit as crunchy and satisfying as the store-bought version. Call them Paleo-friendly, gluten free, grain free, soy free, or just plain nutty and delicious. Unlike other crackers, which are mostly just carbohydrate, they can stand alone as a “mini-meal” snack: They are packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids.
