What you'll need

  • Food processor — Blends cracker dough and energy bar bases in seconds — hard to do by hand.
  • Silicone baking mat — Roll cracker dough directly on the mat, then bake — nothing sticks, no mess.
  • Rolling pin — Roll crackers and cookie dough to an even, thin thickness for uniform baking.
  • Kitchen scale — Snack recipes — especially bars and crackers — are far more consistent by weight than volume.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients: flours, cheese, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast.
  3. Add olive oil and honey; stir until a dough forms. Knead briefly, then roll into a 1/4-inch thickness.
  4. Cut into cracker shapes, place on baking sheets, and bake 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
