Almond Flax Crackers


This is a great alternative to bread and store-bought crackers as it's more nutrient dense. The crackers are full of flavour - from the garlic, onion and miso - flour-free, low sodium, and low sugar. There's plenty of fibre, protein and healthy fats - from the almonds and flaxseed - in each serving.

Each serving, about 28g / 1oz may not seem like a lot, unlike a bag of crisps or several crackers, but it's a filling snack that can be dipped into hummus or crumbled onto a salad. It goes great with hummus, like my recent beetroot hummus.

Ingredients:
- 40g / 1.4oz onion
- 70g / 2.5oz almonds
- 70g / 2.5oz flaxseed meal
- 30ml / 2tbsp water
- 36g / 2tbsp miso paste (I used miso and easy)
- 1/2tsp garlic powder
- 1tsp cumin, ground
- ground black pepper

Method:
Slice onion very thinly and set aside.

In a food processor, grind the almonds into a fine powder.

Add the remaining ingredients, including the onion, and blend into a smooth paste.

Spread the mixture over a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Put another sheet on top and use a rolling pin to apply even pressure to the surface. The dough should be approx. 1cm thick.

Bake in the oven at 175C / 350F for 16-18 minutes until the middle is no longer soft. Cool on a wire rack and then break into pieces. ENJOY!
