Paleo Crackers (grain, dairy and nut free)

Jump to Recipe

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

I’m a big snacker.  I like to graze all day long.  So I try to make sure that I always have little handy snacks available.  One of my recent favorites are my nut-free Paleo Crackers. 

Paleo Crackers / savorylotus.com

These crispy little crackers are a  delicious mix of sunflower, sesame, and flax seeds.  You can also add in pumpkin seeds in place of the flax.  They are so versatile and easy to make.  I’ve made them several times and found that the proportions of seeds doesn’t matter so much as long as you add enough oil and water to make them stick together.   You could substitute or add any yummy seeds that you like.  I’m going to try hemp seeds next time.

Who doesn’t love a good cracker? 

I actually consider crackers just a vehicle for spooning delicious dips and sauces into my mouth.  My two favorite things to eat with these simple crackers are Parsnip Hummus and Vital Green Pesto.  Or you could do what my little one does and just eat them with almond butter.  I have been known to make them into a little treat by topping them with my Cardamom Fig Chia Jam.

    Hi,

    One of the ingredients is ‘1 cup sunflowers, soaked and dehydrated’. Can you tell me how long to soak and how to dehydrate?

    Thanks 🙂

      Here is a good explanation on how to do it—> http://wholelifestylenutrition.com/recipes/appetizers-snacks/is-soaking-nuts-necessary-how-to-properly-soak-your-organic-raw-nuts/

      I soak mine overnight and dehydrate them at 105’F in my Excalibur until crispy. I store them in the fridge in a big mason jar. I use sunflower seeds for lots of things. I love them, and they make great flour for paleo baking.

    Been looking for a grain/wheat free cracker to have ready as a snack. This is it. Was worried they would crumble, but no. They keep their shape are easy to prepare and most importantly absolutely delicious.
    Question: I make these with pumpkin seeds. It I were to use flax could I use the seeds or do they need to be ground.

      Hi, Nat! These crackers are very versatile. You would have to experiment with flax. They have a different consistency then pumpkin. You could try grinding them a bit or not. I would love to hear how it goes.

    Hi. I loved these but my daughters didn’t like the sesame seeds. Do you think it would work replacing them with pepitas?
    Thanks

    These sound great! Do you know how long they last and how they should be stored? Also, can they be saved in the freezer?

      These crackers will last a few days in an air-tight container. I have not tried freezing them. I’m sure you can. You may have to crisp them up for a couple of minutes in a hot oven after your defrost them.

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏

👉👉 do you have a morning routine?  i’d love to hear how you start your day • leave me a comment below ⤵️⤵️
what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ • what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ •  made a batch of my BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS this morning • a great way to get more vegetables onto your plate • so good with a plate of fried eggs and steamed kale • made with just a few simple ingredients • don’t skip the fresh herbs 🍀🌱🍀

* butternut squash (about 3 pounds)- peeled and shredded
* eggs, whisked
* 1/2 cup gluten free flour (I used a combo of almond flour and tapioca) 
* 1/4 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped ( any combo of parsley, basil, sage, or cilantro)
* 1/4–1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp salt
* ghee or avocado oil for cooking

1. in a large bowl, combine shredded butternut squash, eggs, flour, herbs, garlic powder, and salt.  mix to combine. 
2. in a large skillet, heat a liberal amount of fat of choice over medium high heat.  scoop out 2 tablespoons of mixture into hand, squeeze into a ball, and place into skillet, flattening with the back of a spatula or measuring cup. cook until golden brown.  flip and cook other side.  repeat until mixture is all gone, adding more fat as needed. 
3. place cooked fritters onto a wire rack while cooking the rest.  serve immediately or freeze for later once cooled.
self-care is about creating healthy habits ❤️• having a “self-care” routine before you get sick can keep you healthy 💪 • and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming • there are so many ways to care for yourself that are 100% free:
💧 hydration
☀️ sunshine,
🌈 fresh air
🌲 nature
🤸🏼‍♂️ movement
🙏 gratitude
👯 connection
🧘🏽‍♀️ meditation

the body usually gives us signals that something is starting to be out of balance • it’s important that we listen or it can lead to more serious health issues • every day is another chance to start taking care of ourselves 

my self-care routine focuses heavily on detoxification/elimination because i’m in heal mode • my toxic burden bucket 🪣 got too full + it put me over the edge • the liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands 💦💦 work hard every day to reduce the build up of environmental contaminants and need regular support to keep functioning optimally • my self-care routine includes:

• infrared sauna for sweating
• Gua Sha to move lymph
• epsom salt baths
• daily movement
• hydration
• cold-pressed juices for nutrition
• coffee enemas
• ozone therapy 
• red light therapy 
• time in nature

don’t wait until you get sick to decide to take care of yourself • you only have this one body and this one precious life • it is NOT normal to feel crappy as we age • let’s change the paradigm and move forward in age with grace + vitality ✨✨• than you, @dr.jess.md for motivating me to take things to the next level
