Homemade Crackers

A complaint/struggle people with Candida have is that they can't have chips or crackers... I have been trying to find a good homemade recipe without all the junk it in! (White flour, wheat flour, sugar, food colorings, preservatives, etc.) 

These were easy to make and you don't need any crazy ingredients.  The only problem is that they kind of crumble if you bite them in half.  But there is a simple solution... Cut into bite size pieces :)  Enjoy!!

Ingredients 

• 1 egg- whisk till frothy
• 2 TBS coconut oil- melted
• 3 Cups almond flour
• 1 1/2 Tsp sea salt
• (Her recipe called for an additional TBS of honey.  I didn't add it to make sure it tasted okay for people on Candida Clear.  For everyone else you can add in the honey to give it a sweeter taste but it was perfectly fine without.)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or I just coated with coconut oil).
2. Mix all ingredients, except almond flour, together. 
3. Slowly add in the almond flour to form a dough.
4. Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper.  It is easier if you do half of the dough at a time.  Roll to about 1/8 inch thickness. Peel the top layer of parchment paper off and cut the dough into bite sized squares.
5. Place dough squares onto prepared baking sheets.
6. Bake for 7-8 minutes, until just starting to brown. (Mine needed about 9 to 10 minutes but each oven is different.)

I like the idea of only 4 ingredients... but that may just be me.
