Default Just like Ritz crackers.

This recipe turned out so well I just wanted to share!

2 1/2 c. walnuts soaked 1 hr. or more
2 1/2 c. cubed zuccini
1/2 c. ground golden flax seed
1/4 c. hemp seed
2 t sea salt

Grind walnut in FP until they are in very small uniform pieces (cous cous looking) - transfer to bowl
Grind zuccini in FP until they are in very small uniform pieces - add to bowl
Add ground flax, hemp and salt. Blend well. Add enough water to make spreadable dough ( 1/2 to 1 cup)

Spread between 2 trays lined with teflex

Dehydrate - Flip - until crisp

Cut in to chips - flat bread or desired sizes.

They are wonderful! They taste just like a Ritz cracker.

Enjoy,

Mindi


(served with black olive tapenade)

FF,
Are you near health food store? If they don't have them should be able to order in. You may give them a call as I prefer to buy local if possible saving on shipping too.

Mindi, I made these and they're fab -- all that you say they are! Thank you so much, I'll be making these again for sure.

By the way, I didn't have help seeds either -- i replaced them with extra flax seeds.

I made these this weekend, minus the hemp seed, but replaced them with unhulled sesame seeds? Let me tell you - they are THE best crackers I have eaten.
Sad to say, I cannot eat the RAWvolution onion bread and Alissa's flax crackers are okay *ducks from flying objects*
But these are very crunchy and tasty! I spread them too thin, one of the sheets, the other was somewhat thicker and doesn't crumble as easily.
I will definitely be making these again! Thanks so much for sharing Mindi.
Any other recipes you wanna share, post 'em! That was sure a hit with me!

I made them too! I also used sesame seeds instead of hemp seeds since I didn't have any hemp seeds. They ARE good...a very nice basic cracker with a "familiar" flavor...wouldn't say just like Ritz, but I can see where they may have somewhat of a similar hint of flavor

Only thing, I screwed up and added too much salt. I thought they would need "a bit more" as many recipes seem to do - but apparently the recipe measurements were right on point even down the to the seasoning. So, they're a bit too salty, but next time I make them (and there WILL be a next time) I'll be sure to add the amount of salt the recipe called for.

I had some last night with some dehydrated jalapeno cheese (Alissa's recipe) and it was just like eating cheese-n-crackers...very tasty.

Thanks for the recipe mattsonfamily!

I added some other seasonings to mine and they're great! (I used onion powder, garlic powder and pasta seasoning)

I'm glad you liked them. They also make great pizza crusts! I put hummus, olives, sundried tomatos, bell pepper and basil on them.

Oh thanks for posting. Many years ago I was seriously addicted to Ritz crackers. I'll definitely try this.
