Ingredients:
- 1 cup Chantal Organics Wholemeal Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Ceres Organics Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, ground
- ¼ cup ROAR Organic Goji Berries
- ¼ cup dried figs, dates, prunes or apricots, chopped
- ¼ cup ROAR Organic Hazelnuts Activated
- ¼ cup ROAR Organic Pepitas Activated
- ¼ cup ROAR Organic Sunflower Activated
- 2 Tablespoons Chantal Organics Organic Hemp Seeds
- 1 cup milk of choice
- ¼ cup Biohoney Manuka Honey MG100+ or liquid sweetener
- 2 teaspoons orange zest (optional)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
- Add the goji berries, chopped dried fruit, and rosemary, and mix well.
- Add the hazelnuts and seeds, along with the milk, honey, and orange zest (if using), and mix again until well combined.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf tin and bake for 30 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean).
- Once cooked, allow the loaf to cool completely, then thinly slice it into crackers.
- Place the slices onto a lined baking tray, ensuring they are thinly sliced. Bake for 10-15 minutes on each side at 140°C until golden and crisp. Let them cool to allow the crackers to harden.
- Store in an airtight container and enjoy with your favourite toppings.
Note: Make sure the loaf is completely cooled before slicing to avoid it crumbling. If you have time, pop it into the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour, or refrigerate overnight, before completing steps 5 and 6.
