Gluten-free crispy vegan crackers made with buckwheat flour, ground almonds, flaxseed, nutritional yeast and olive oil.
Lately I’ve been craving cheese and so the other day I got my pot of nutritional yeast and baked some crackers. Totally scrumptious and cheese craving satisfying crackers.
The only problem that I have now is wanting to eat the whole lot in one go! While my second batch is still in the oven my first is almost gone. So now you’re going to have to bake some of these Cheezy Vegan Crackers and let me know if you love them as much as me.
I’ve adapted these from my Buckwheat and Rosemary Crackers recipe, because they are so simple to make and totally amazing too. These crackers have a bit more ingredients layered in to get that vegan cheezy flavor – nutritional yeast, garlic, sea salt and apple cider vinegar, but the base of buckwheat flour, ground almonds and ground flaxseed remains the same.
To make the crackers, simply whisk all of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and mix until you have a nice smooth dough. You might have to add more water or flour depending on the ingredients you are using to achieve the right pliable consistency so you can roll it out without sticking to the baking paper.
I’ve made this recipe twice and it worked beautifully each time. Try them with my Simple Beetroot Dip 3 Ways recipe. Enjoy!
Cheezy Vegan Crackers (gluten-free)
Gluten-free crispy vegan crackers made with buckwheat flour, ground almonds, flaxseed, nutritional yeast and olive oil.
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat flour (140 grams)
- 1 cup ground almonds (100 grams)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup + 2 teaspoons water (90 ml)
- black sesame seeds for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C) - 350 °F fan (180°C fan)
- Prepare 2 baking sheets.
- In a bowl whisk together buckwheat flour, ground almonds, ground flaxseed, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and sea salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl mix olive oil, apple cider vinegar and water and add to the dry ingredients.
- Bring together into a dough and knead on a surface until smooth. If needed add a little water or flour, the dough should be nice and smooth, not sticky or too dry.
- Separate the dough into 2 balls.
- Place one ball between 2 sheets of greaseproof baking paper and roll out until about 2mm thickness.
- Remove the top layer of baking paper, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and gently roll over them with the rolling pin to press them in. Cut the dough into 16 wedges like you would cut a pizza and prick each cracker with a fork few times.
- Transfer onto a baking tray keeping the bottom layer of paper.
- Bake for 10-15 min. Keep an eye on the crackers as the outer edges always bake quicker. You might have to move them around, so they bake evenly.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Enjoy with your favorite dip or on its own.

They sound great Hana! And those photos are excellent, well done :)
Thank you so much Michelle! So happy you think so:) x
Lovely!! My favorite flour and my favorite “cheeze” ;) I go through so much nooch here!
Very similar in my kitchen! xx
Lovely! Would they work with just buckwheat flour? We can’t have nuts in our household…
Hi Eveline, I don’t see why not. You might need to add a little more water, buckwheat flour absorbs quite a bit of liquid, but otherwise it should work. Alternatively you could also mix in ground sunflower seeds instead of almonds.
Mmm these look delicious, Hana! I’ve never tried nutritional yeast before but I’m definitely intrigued to. I bet I could wolf down a few batches of these in no time! x
Thank you Sasha! Nutritional yeast is amazing, definitely one to try:) Yes, you could, I wolfed down 2 batches this week in no time!!! x
From the looks of these pictures, I bet I would devour all of these crackers too! They look absolutely perfect!! :D
Thank you Sarah! I think you most probably would too:)
Simple ingredients and easy, Delicious!!!!! Would eat it again!
Thank you Sarah! That’s so wonderful to hear!
I made them today but with sorghum flour.. Turned out great!! My 2.5 year old son and 6 year old daughter loved them.. Thanks so much
You’re so welcome Manasi! So happy to hear that you loved them and they worked well with sorghum flour too :)
Thank you, Chef !! Everything I prepare from your instruction is p e r f e c t and tasty. I replace the Garlic powder with real garlic mix it in the liquids. I also add sesame seeds on top.
You’re so welcome! I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for your comment. Even better with some fresh garlic :)
