This recipe is fast and easy to make, with only wholesome, real food to create a version of everybody’s favorite savory snack. What’s even nicer about these Cheesy Cracker Crisps, is that they only use 5 ingredients. You can shape them into anything you like i.e. goldfish, circles, squares, etc.

Cheesy Cracker Crisps is one of the the many favorites in my cookbook on healthy snacks called Switch It Up!. The cookbook has over 80 recipes that take your favorite snacks and switches them up to a healthier version. The idea behind it was to take the worst/unhealthiest kid favorites and make a delicious, tasty version so you don’t need to feel bad when you feed your kids their favorite snacks. The recipes are easy, quick and only need a few ingredients.

Ingredients

Let’s talk ingredients, as I mentioned this recipe only uses 5 ingredients and one is water. When was the last time you checked the ingredients of Goldfish crackers or Cheez-it crackers? I am sure there are a lot more than 5 ingredients. Although we may love them, there are a lot of things in them that we don’t need nor healthy for us. Take a look for yourself:

These Cheesy Cracker Crisps use almond flour as well as sharp cheddar cheese for some added protein. There are some spices for flavor, tapioca flour to get them extra crisp, and water, that’s it, that’s all. For anyone who prefers a nut free version you can substitute the almond flour with tapioca flour, whole wheat flour, or chickpea flour. Same goes for cheese, if you prefer a dairy free version try using a vegan cheese. I like this one from Violife.

Here is a quick video of the recipe for anyone with doubts. I really promise it’s so easy to make. Just make a batch and store for upto 1 month, if they last that long! Happy Cooking.

Instructions
