“Cheesy” Paleo Crackers (grain, dairy, and nut free)

Jump to Recipe

"Cheesy" Paleo Crackers (grain, dairy and nut free) savorylotus.com

Yes, another paleo cracker recipe.  This one is my version of a “cheese” cracker- without the cheese.  It’s crispy.  It’s savory.  And my family loves them.

I made a batch of these the other day, and when I left my family alone for a couple of hours, they were GONE.  The whole tray.  I guess they were a hit.

"Cheesy" Paleo Crakers dairy and nut free)~ savorylotus

These “cheesy” paleo crackers are a spin off of my original paleo crackers.  They are completely grain, dairy, and nut free.  I have been using sunflower seeds in place of almond flour lately.  And I love it.  I use soaked and dehydrated sunflower seeds that are ground to a coarse flour in my food processor.

The “cheesy” flavor comes from nutritional yeast.  What I love about nutritional yeast:

  • Good source of B vitamins, especially B12 (1 TBS provides provides an adult with a full day’s supply)
  • Good source of protein (9 grams in 2 TBS)
  • Rich in minerals (including iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and chromium, and selenium)
  • Makes EVERYTHING taste better

I hope you enjoy them as much as my kids did!

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw sunflower seeds (preferably soaked and dehydrated)
  • 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (preferably soaked and dehydrated)
  • 1/2 cup raw sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (like this)
  • 3 TBS coconut oil (like this) (melted)
  • 5 TBS filtered water
  • 1/2 tsp unrefined sea salt (I use this one)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325′ F
  2. Process sunflower and pumpkin seeds in food processor until you get a coarse flour-like consistency (about a minute or so)
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until well combined. (Mixture will stick together and begin to form a ball. If it doesn’t form ball, add a titch more nutritional yeast.)
  4. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of unbleached parchment paper (like this) to ¼ inch (or less) thick
  5. Score the crackers into desired sizes with a pizza cutter
  6. Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes (I like to break them up along the scored lines during the last 5 minutes to ensure even baking. BE CAREFUL. They are super hot.)
  7. Allow to cool and enjoy. Store in an airtight container.

    I have a question. Is there anything one can use to substitute for nutritional yeast? I think I am allergic. Thanks!

      If you can’t do nutritional yeast, you can try my basic Paleo Cracker recipe. They are very similar. 🙂

    If I do not soak and dehydrate the seeds would I still use raw or could I roast? Don’t have a dehydrator. Look delicious and I need a good cracker recipe! Thanks!

      You can just use raw sunflower seeds. Roasted would work too. These crackers are really versatile. 🙂

    This is an amazing recipe! About half way through cooking I peeked and it looked like a big oily mess and I was trying to figure out what I did wrong. Once I took them out of the oven and let them sit for a few minutes they were perfect! Texture is great and I love the slightly cheesy taste.

    I just made this and tasted it raw…add a couple handfuls of basil, skip the cooking process and you have PESTO that would be wonderful on spaghetti squash !

      Tammy,
      I love to use pumpkin seeds in pesto. We love this raw too. My little one steals little bites as I am rolling it out.

    I really want to make these but can’t use sesame.
    What would you suggest subbing the 1/2 cup of sesame for?
    My toddler has a sesame allergy and from what I’ve heard it’s becoming a common allergen.

      you can use any seeds that you like. Maybe just leave them out and add a few more sunflower seeds. This recipe is really forgiving. I would love to hear how it turns out! 🙂

    These are my favorite cracker (healthy or otherwise) recipe. Easy, quick, delicious, AND HEARTY. Other cracker recipes are so light & crispy that I can binge the whole recipe all by myself. These are satisfying–can’t ask for anything more! FYI: I upgrade the nutritional profile by “subbing” in some flax seeds. Also great with a cheese board. Thank you!

💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things yo 💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things you can do to get things flowing 💧💧

1️⃣ HYDRATION 💧💧💧• drink half your body weight in ounces every day • start the day with 32 ounces of clean water in the first 1-2 hours that you’re awake • drink clean, filtered water • tap water can be loaded with heavy metals, pesticides, + pharmaceuticals 😵• water makes up 60 percent of our total body weight + 90 percent of brain weight 🧠• adequate water intake is essential for the body to function properly • water delivers important nutrients to all of our cells, especially muscle cells (energy!!), helps to move the digestive process along through the system,  helps with constipation, moves toxins through the body faster, and optimizes kidney function (detox!) • without adequate water, toxins can’t be excreted + then can build up in the body 

2️⃣ BOWEL MOMENTS 💩💩 • aim for 1-2 good-sized bowel movements per day (think at least banana-sized 🍌) without feeling the need to strain or feeling of incomplete evacuation afterwards • if the food that we eat is not traveling through the body fast enough, it will sit in the bowels + ferment/rot and the toxins get reabsorbed into the body 😩+ can cause abdominal pain, bloating, + gas 💨• prioritize hydration to keep food moving + eat plenty of fiber to speed up digestion • avoid inflammatory foods • take magnesium to help things keep flowing • practice enemas to hydrate colon + to increase peristalsis • get a professional colonic to hydrate, tone, + clean large intestine • keep things flowing out • better out than in 😉

3️⃣ MOVEMENT 🤸🏽‍♀️🏃‍♀️💃🏻🚴🏽‍♂️• move your body every day • walk, run, jump, dance, ride a bike • take 2 minute movement tbreaks throughout the day • the lymphatic system is one of our main waste removal systems + relies on skeletal muscle contractions to keep flowing • prioritize exercise + walking • hot Epsom salt baths stimulate circulation, improve lymphatic drainage + promote sweating 🛁🛁• sweating in a sauna stimulates the lymphatic system to release excess water + toxins 💦💦
