How do you make easy gluten-free crackers?

These crackers are made from whole grain quinoa, not processed flour! You simply soak the quinoa grain and then blend it into a batter! I learned that you can use quinoa in this way from the blog Simply Quinoa. Her quinoa pizza crust recipe is delicious and made using a similar process. I decided to play around and see if I could make crackers this way too, and… it worked! It’s hands down the easiest way I have ever found to make homemade crackers.

How can you turn whole grain quinoa into crackers?

Most homemade cracker recipes require you to make a dough, roll it out, and carefully cut out and transfer the crackers to a cookie sheet for baking. This method of making crackers doesn’t require any of that hard work!

Start by soaking the quinoa grain in water for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Then drain and rinse the grain and add a little water, spices, and salt. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend on high for a few minutes until the grain turns into a pancake-like batter. Pour the batter onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. (Sprinkle with some hemp or sesame seeds and kosher salt if desired). Bake the crackers for about 15 minutes before taking out of the oven and cutting into squares. Then flip the crackers and peel off the parchment paper. Bake again for 15 minutes. Make sure all the crackers are in separate pieces and flip again seed side up and bake about another 10-15 minutes until dry and crisp. (The ones on the outside of the cookie sheet or those that are thinner will cook faster. Remove any that start to get golden brown and leave the others until they have all cooked evenly).

It’s that easy! With very little effort on your part, you have healthy whole grain quinoa crackers that you can use for guilt-free snacking! The hardest part is remembering to soak your quinoa.
