High Protein Pesto Crackers with Organic Super Greens Pesto
A delicious, high-protein, gluten-free snack to replace crisps or popcorn. These healthy crackers are crisp, satisfying and full of flavour. We used our new Organic Super Greens Pesto, but feel free to use whichever pesto you love most.
Takes 30 minutes
Serves 8
Ingredients
- 120 g chickpea flour gram flour (approx. 1 cup)
- 50 g mixed seeds e.g. flax, pumpkin (approx. ⅓ cup)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 90 ml water approx. 6 tbsp
- 3 tbsp pesto of choice we used our Super Greens Pesto
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients:
- Sieve the chickpea flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the mixed seeds, garlic powder and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until evenly combined.
Add the wet ingredients:
- In a small jug, mix the maple syrup with the water. Pour into the dry mixture and stir well until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Spread on a tray:
- Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Pour the batter onto the tray and use a spatula to spread it out evenly to around ½ cm thick.
Add the pesto:
- Spoon the pesto over the surface and gently spread or swirl it into the top using the back of a spoon to create a marbled effect.
Score the crackers:
- Lightly score the mixture with a knife or pizza cutter into your preferred cracker shapes—this helps them snap easily after baking.
Bake until crisp:
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C / gas mark 4) and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Cool and enjoy:
- Allow to cool completely on the tray. Once cool, snap along the scored lines and enjoy!
