Fruit & Nut Crackers
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 3/4 cup dried fruit chopped (apricots, figs, dates, raisins, cherries, etc.)
- 3/4 cup nuts or seeds chopped (pistachios, pecans, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, etc.)
- 2 tsp orange or lemon zest
- 1 cup milk of choice we used oat milk, but any kind works
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two mini loaf pans (approximately 5 1/2” x 3 1/4”) or one regular loaf pan (approximately 8 1/2” x 4 1/2”) with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine both flours, baking soda, salt, herbs, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, dried fruit, nuts, and zest. Stir until well combined. Add in the milk and honey, stirring until fully combined with no streaks of honey remaining.
- Divide the mixture between the mini pans or the regular loaf pan. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let it cool to room temperature, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove from the freezer, preheat the oven to 300°F, and use a serrated knife to slice into 1/8” thick slices. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12 minutes, flip each cracker over, bake for another 12 minutes, and check for doneness. They should be golden brown and feel dry to the touch. If needed, flip and leave in the oven for another 3-6 minutes.
- Let them cool completely, and then enjoy!
