If you’ve never tried gluten free oyster crackers, you’re in for a treat! I remember making them for the first time and being amazed at how quickly they came together. The crispy texture and savory flavor are simply irresistible, making them a perfect snack for any time of day.
Making these crackers is a breeze—just mix your ingredients, shape them, and bake! The process is so straightforward that even novice bakers can whip up a batch with ease. Plus, the smell of them baking is a warm, comforting reminder of home.
What I love most is their versatility. Enjoy them straight from the oven, toss them in a salad, or use them as a crunchy topping for costco soup. They’re a fantastic way to enjoy a gluten-free treat while sticking to a healthier lifestyle.
Gluten Free Oyster Crackers
For 3 Servings
Author: Chris
Total time: 45-50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup gluten-free cornmeal
- 1/4 cup vegan butter or oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried herbs (optional, such as rosemary or thyme)
- 2-3 tablespoons cold water (as needed to bind dough)
Steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it’s hot and ready to bake your crackers to crispy perfection.
- Prepare the Dough: Mix gluten-free flour, cornmeal, salt, and optional garlic powder and herbs in a bowl. Stir in melted vegan butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add cold water gradually until a dough forms.
- Roll and Cut: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into small cracker shapes using a cookie cutter or knife, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the Crackers: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. The baking will fill your kitchen with a delicious aroma!
- Cool and Store: Let the crackers cool on a wire rack to become even crispier. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy for snacking!
Notes:
- If your dough feels too dry, add a little more cold water, a teaspoon at a time, until it holds together. This will help ensure your crackers come out crisp and perfectly baked.
- Uniform Cutting: For even baking, try to cut the crackers into uniform sizes. This way, they’ll bake evenly and give you a batch of perfectly crisp crackers every time!
