Peanut Butter Crackers
Strangely enough, the older these are, the crispier they get.
you don’t have to worry though: what they gain in crisp, they don’t lose in freshness or flavor.
Definitely give them a day or two in a cookie tin if you like your crackers to…crack you up?
I refuse to test another batch right now because I can’t stop munching on them, but I’ll work on getting a version that’s immediately crisp-a-licious when I can put a leash on my self-control again.
Update: delicious new version of these coming up in the cookbook!
I use goldfish cracker-sized cutters, so keep that in mind if you only have something bigger, for the baking time.
Peanut Butter Crackers 1/2 tablespoon tamari
1 teaspoon chili oil
2 generous tablespoons crunchy natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/4 cup unsweetened almond (or other) milk
pinch coarse sea salt, optionalPreheat oven to 350°F . Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
In your stand mixer, combine together tamari, oil, PB, and nectar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flours, arrowroot, and nooch.
Throw flour mix into stand mixer bowl, combine and add milk alternative 1 tablespoon at a time until dough comes together.Roll out resulting dough to about 1/4 inch thickness, cut shapes with your favorite cutter.
Bake for 12-13 minutes, let cool on baking sheet.Yield: About 3 cups worth of small crackers, depending on size of cookie cutter

Ohohoho! I love teeny tiny crackers like these! Wow, when I saw the ingredients, I have to look twice – they have tamari and chili oil in them!! Oh I don’t think I can stop munching on them as well – but I guess they are not as bad as those margarine laden cookies :0)

Those are just the cutest l’il crackers!! I think they’d be too addictive for me, though (I don’t seem to have your self-control. . . ).

these are adorable! a perfect snack at the pool! i have all of the ingredients but chili oil. would canola oil work instead? and one last thing, so do these taste more peanubutter-y or cheesey? thanks :)

chili oil gives them spunk. if you forgo it, add some cayenne pepper or chili powder or…something. or don’t, but it’ll be a sad, sad day.
and they taste peanut buttery, of course.
Amy: they’re actually the quackers’ archnemesis…es. sparks are flying in my kitchen!

Yay! My family LOVES peanut butter, so I will be making these for them as soon as it cools down enough to think about baking/cooking/turning on the oven again!

Ooo, those crackers look so cute! They remind me of the gingerbread biscuits my brothers and I would make with Mum when we were little.

Celine, these crackers = yum! I don’t have adorable little teeny cutters like you have, so just cut the rolled dough into little diamonds with a knife. Easy and delicious!! :D

These look great. Would they still work if I replaced the rice flour with all all purpose flour?

I haven’t tried it, Erin, but I’m sure it’d be just fine.
