WARNING: pure addiction!
These crackers are soo easy and delicious, and insanely addictive. Can’t stop reaching out for these! I’ve eaten them with soups, salads, on their own as a healthy snack, with hummus (I know, real meta). They just go with everything!
I also found that the water wasn’t quite enough for my flour, but it’s an issue I’ve had before so it must be the gram flour I have. I just kept adding teaspoons of water until I could mix it into a ball – just be careful not to add too much if you’re doing the same.
Hi, Lucia! Thank you for stopping by. I’m so very happy you enjoy this recipe! 🙂
The measured ingredients published don’t form a dough, at all. More liquid was needed. With just these posted ingredients, I had a consistency of flour, with a few wet spots.
Any thoughts?
Hi, Lucia! Can I ask what brand of chickpea flour you used? Did you change anything about the recipe? This is a very tried and true recipe and I’ve never experienced it turning out that consistency..
These came out perfect. I’ve made other gluten-free crackers but the texture of these are so much better. I added rosemary and they were yummy!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Hello, I just found your recipe…..it is just what I’m looking for but I would like to ask what the protein per serving is?
Hi! Thank you. I’ve just run the recipe through a nutrition calculator and updated the recipe card for you. I hope this helps! 🙂
How many crackers should this mske
Approximately 50 crackers.
These sound delicious and I really want to try them. I think 🤔 I did something wrong. I followed the recipe exactly but it did not form a ball. I had to add additional oil and water to have it come together and even then it didn’t keep its form when it cooked. They crumbled apart.
Any ideas would be welcomed.
Hi! Sorry to hear that! That’s really odd. Can I ask what brand of chickpea flour you used?
I am having the opposite problem. Mine are too loose and I have to add more flour. I am afraid to add too much, tho Can hardly roll them or cut them without sticking, so they don’t come out as pretty, but they are still delicious! I was told that for crackers I should use chickpea flour that is from unroasted chickpeas, just dried. I use roasted chickpea flour for something else. I would make them more often if the dough wasn’t so sticky.
Hi, is it a must to prick the top of the cracker?
It isn’t. Pricking helps air escape so you have more of a traditional flat cracker. If you do not prick, they will still be tasty, but they may puff up a bit. I hope this helps!
Delicious and easy! thank you
I’m so happy to hear! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Thanks for a GREAT and simple recipe. Comment: I accidentally omitted the baking powder the first time, and can comment that they actually tasted better than the second batch with baking powder.
I’m so happy you enjoyed them! 🙂
Just made these. Turned out great. Added Rosemary because I love Rosemary crackers. Gonna have these with hummus.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
These look so good! Can the oil be taken out? I am oil free
Thank you! Yes, the oil can be omitted with no problem!!
very taste!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
The texture of this cookie is amazing! It took me a few tries to tweak the taste until perfect though:
– Decreased the amount of salt to 1/4 tsp
– Mix the dry ingredients first (flour, baking powder, salt) then add the wet ingredients. Otherwise, you’ll end up with pockets of salt.
– Use a neutral oil (e.g. vegetable oil or melted butter) instead of olive oil. There was a bit of an unpleasant aftertaste with olive oil.
But other than that, it’s a pretty good basic recipe.
Thanks for sharing, T. I agree with your tweaks! 🙂
Loved these..super easy..tasted yummm with hummus..just wanted to know is der any way we can camouflage the taste of chickpea flour?
Hi Riddhi — I’m happy to hear this! Thank you for sharing. Adding some garlic powder or stronger spices can help mask the flavor, as well as experimenting with different brands of chickpea flavor, as they can vary a bit. I hope this helps!
