This is another cracker recipe that quickly became a popular one & is one of my personal favorites, comes in very close to the whole wheat zaatar cracker! 😉

It really satisfies that craving for salty cheese munchies. It is gluten free but can also be made with other flour options, and is pretty easy to make.


Flaky, crunchy, cheesy, and most importantly meets the criteria for joining the nourishing cracker family: nutritious and filling! They the perfect substitute for those store goldfish crackers that kids love so much, and are simply such a delight to snack on.
