I found this gluten-free cracker recipe in Elana’s Pantry and I’ve made them twice so far. The first time I only used almond meal with the sesame seeds but the second time round I replaced half of the almond meal with desiccated coconut. This is what I love about cooking – everything can be adapted to suit the individual and it’s by this process that completely new recipes emerge 
(I use desiccated coconut and home-made almond meal instead of coconut flour and almond flour because of availability). These crackers turned out to be fantastic! I even prefer them to the store-bought flour crackers I used to buy.
Elana’s Pantry is a gluten-free website by Elana Amsterdam. She is a fabulous cook and even has her own cookbook, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook, which you can purchase from Amazon
. If you follow the Primal lifestyle and you get stuck for ideas for what to eat, because grains are suddenly out of the picture, do a google search for gluten-free blogs and you’ll find a wealth of great recipes and ideas.
Try these crackers with cheese, hummus, guacamole etc. or on their own.
Sesame Crackers
3 cups blanched almond flour (or 1.5 cups of almond meal and 1.5 cups of desiccated coconut)
1½ teaspoons celtic sea salt
1 cup sesame seeds
2 eggs, whisked until frothy
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (I used Olive Oil)
In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, salt, sesame seeds, eggs and oil until well blended
Separate dough into two halves
Line two large (12 x 16) stainless steel baking sheets with parchment paper
Place one half of the dough in the center of each lined sheet
Cut another piece of parchment paper and place it over one of the balls of dough
Roll dough out between the two pieces of parchment paper, until it is 1/2 inch thick and covers the entire baking sheet; remove top paper and repeat process with the other piece of dough
Cut the dough with a knife or pizza cutter into 2 inch squares
Bake at 350º for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown
Cool and serve
Makes 96 crackers
Second time (made with coconut flour)
First time made only with Almond Meal (didn’t have a rolling pin so I smooshed the batter flat with my palm
)
