Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp water plus 3 tablespoons, divided
  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • cup raw pecans
  • ¾ cup brown rice flour
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

  • In a small bowl, make a chia "egg" by mixing 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, chop ⅓ cup of raw pecans into a fine flour. Next, add ¾ cup of brown rice flour and ½ tsp of kosher salt to the pecans and process to combined.
  • Add olive oil, maple syrup and remaining water to the chia "egg". Mix to combine.
  • Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and process until the dough just comes together.
  • Working in batches, take half the dough mixture and place on a hard surface that has been dusted in brown rice flour. Place a large piece of parchment on top of the dough and roll out until thin. Use a 1 ½ inch biscuit cutter to cut out crackers. Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Repeat process until all baking sheets are full. Sprinkle crackers with coarse salt before baking.
  • Bake crackers at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until the crackers are crisp and golden in color. Let cool completely before eating. The crackers will continue to crisp as they cool.
  • This recipe makes 50-60 crackers. Enjoy on their own or dip them into peanut butter, soft cheese or my Roasted Carrot and Pepper Tapenade.
