Cheeze-Its Gluten Free and Vegan

I recently purchased some stuff from Thrive Market. It’s a really cool site that offers a lot of health foods at a discounted rate. Whenever I’m working with clients, their two main concerns are that they don’t have the time to food shop or it can be too expensive. In the past, I have looked into joining my local Food Coop where they offer health food products at a discount price. But joining would mean I would have to work there once a month and so would everyone in my family. I barely have time to go to the health food store myself, let alone work there! So when I came across Thrive Market, it was a perfect match. I will definitely be using Thrive Market and I’m so happy to be partnering with them!

I was excited to work with the chickpea flour and nutritional yeast! So I decided I would make a cracker. Then I thought about crackers that I used to love and the first thing that came to mind when I thought of a cheesy cracker was Cheeze-Its. One year they came out with a tabasco flavor that had an addicting cheesy, spicy and salty flavor. It wasn’t as hard as I thought to create this recipe, it could have been an epic fail but ended up being kind of amazing. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!Recipe: Preheat oven to 350

• 2 cups garbanzo bean flour
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional for extra heat)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil (melted)
• 1/2 cup cold water 

1. In a medium size mixing bowl add all ingredients besides coconut oil and water, mix well, then add coconut oil and water.
2. mix until a dough forms
3. line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spray with non-stick spray (I used the coconut oil spray I just bought)
4. flatten your dough on the baking sheet, hands work best. Make sure its rolled out evenly.
5. Cut them using either a knife or pizza cutter into 1×1 inch squares, poke a whole or dash the center with an X. (note I cut the ends to make them look even)
6. sprinkle with a little sea salt
7. Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes until edges are brown
8. let cool for 30 minutes and break them up.
