{Note from Jessica: Today’s post is shared by my sweet friend Renee, author of Raising Generation Nourished. We became friends several years ago and I am continually impressed with her desire to help change the world, starting with our newest generation. Real food has to be core of our health and should start in the womb. Considering this is the first time in history that our children are expected to die before us, something HAS to change. I’m honored to call her a friend. I hope you’ll stop by her site, Raising Generation Nourished, and say hello!}
I have really “upped” my grain-free herb cracker game in the last year.
I haven’t really been a fan of homemade crackers in the past. I just don’t have time for fussy, ya know?
But my first born is in kindergarten…and that means snack time. We don’t do a ton of snacking in our home, but for her school days it is quite needed – she has breakfast at 7 in the morning and they don’t eat lunch until close to 1. They typically serve a fruit or veg along with crackers or pretzels.
Even if she could have gluten (which we choose not to), I wouldn’t want her having the same thing day in and day out! It is so important to rotate our food so our guts get variety.
I perfected my gluten free cracker recipe this fall, and she loves them. I occasionally buy the Mary’s GF crackers at Costco for something different, and she also really loves it when I make these grain free crackers with an “herb-y” twist to the flavor! She’s happy because she gets to have crackers like her friends, and momma is happy because I know her gut isn’t being bombarded with processed gluten or the same food over and over.
I have particularly become fond of these crackers because they go so well with a bowl of soup which we have often around here to get our daily bone broth in!
Bonus! The recipe is FAST. Remember? I don’t do “fussy”. I just plain don’t have time. I can mix this up in the bowl and spread it onto the baking sheet in less than 10 minutes!

Grain-Free Herb Crackers :: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free
If you've never tried making your own crackers at home, this
is the recipe to start with. It's fast and easy, plus you'll never believe how
good they taste. Honestly, they're better than store-bought!
Ingredients
- ½ cup blanched almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 6 tbsp. avocado oil
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. thyme
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- 1/3 cup -1/2 cup water
- Sea salt for sprinkling on the tops
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Place everything into a medium mixing bowl and combine. The dough shouldn’t be super wet, but also shouldn’t be crumbly. You can add more water if it is dry, or more flour if it is too wet – different air conditions where you live will determine this I have found!
- Put the ball of dough on a piece of Silpat or parchment paper, and a piece of parchment paper over the top of the dough. Roll the dough out – the thinner you make it, the crispier the crackers will be.
- Use a butter knife to square off your crackers in the shape you want, and then sprinkle the top with sea salt.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 13 minutes. Check them around the 10-minute mark in case our ovens run differently. Let them cool about 15 minutes before handling.
