Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups chickpea flour (sifted, if lumpy, plus more for dusting) I recommend using Bob's Red Mill or Anthony's for a fine texture.
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes Look for non-fortified varieties like Bragg for the best flavor.
  • 1.5 teaspoons cane sugar See notes for options.
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (like avocado, canola, or sunflower) Use high-quality avocado oil for the best results.
  • 4 tablespoons warm water More may be needed for the dough consistency.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Adds depth of flavor.
  • large grain sea salt for topping (optional) For that extra crunchy finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, cane sugar, and sea salt.
  3. Add the neutral oil, Dijon mustard, and warm water to the dry mixture. Stir until the dough comes together, adding more water as needed.
  4. Divide the dough in half. Roll one half out on parchment paper to 12-inch by 8-inch rectangle.
  5. Cut the dough into approximately 40 crackers and sprinkle with large grain sea salt if desired.
  6. Transfer the parchment paper with the crackers onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until light golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and transfer the crackers to a cooling rack to cool completely for the best crunch.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
