Flourless "Hummus Crackers"

MR - As soon as I saw the picture of this pin, I knew I had to try it - they looked delicious, easy, and very healthy - exactly what I look for in recipes.  And as for it being gluten-free, I know that I can feed it to a friend's child, or recommend it to family members who are avoiding gluten.  It's also probably a good thing to eat less grains, if possible.

They are called Chickpea Crackers, but our kids love hummus, so we call them Hummus Crackers.

I followed the recipe almost exactly, except that I didn't have any garlic to add.  I figured that was okay, though, so it would be  a milder taste for our kids.  One small can of chickpeas made two trays of crackers (around 100 smallish crackers).


They taste great.  They would work well with dips or cheese.  We'll definitely be making these again.  Maybe trying new taste combinations with various herbs or possibly some cheddar cheese.  I'm also wondering about some honey to get that "Wheat Thins" flavour.   Head over here for the recipe!

Note:  They do end up being slightly dry, so they taste best with some sort of topping or dip.

  1. I tried these this afternoon - the dough never formed a ball, and required a few extra min in the oven, but we all (including Anneke) loved them! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!

    1. I did have to add a bit of extra oil, like it said in the recipe. I found it was really handy to roll out under the saran wrap - no mess! So Hendrik ate them too? Great!

  2. So I made these yesterday again (on the BBQ!) and added 1 roasted red pepper - very yummy! Anneke (10 mo) & Hendrik (2 yrs) both love them!
