Fig Walnut Rosemary Crackers (gluten-free & vegan)

November 15, 2016 By Hana 22 Comments

Fig Walnut Rosemary Crackers (gluten-free & vegan)

I’ve got another yummy recipe for the party season for you – Fig Walnut Rosemary Crackers. They are everything crackers should be, crispy, full of flavour and so moreish. I could not stop myself from eating them!

Inspired by my ever so popular Buckwheat Rosemary Crackers these are much nuttier and just as amazing. Only missing some cashew cheese to dip in.

To make the crackers I’ve used ground walnuts, sunflower seeds and quinoa flour mixed with flax egg and little olive oil with an addition of dried figs and fresh rosemary. The dough is fairly oily because of the high nut and seed content and the extra addition of olive oil. I’ve made them with and without the olive oil and it works just the same, but for me, they taste so much better with it, so I do recommend adding some in.

The dough is also quite textured and with the addition of the figs, it has a tendency to split when rolling out. But don’t worry, just have patience and use your hands to shape and push the dough together as needed. It also depends on the way you cut your figs, I’ve sliced mine very thin, but left them long for the look. If you slice them smaller it will be easier rolling it out. You can cut the crackers into small squares or triangles like me, whatever you prefer. If you like to make them completely grain-free just replace the quinoa flour with extra sunflower seeds. Enjoy with some great company:) x

Author: Hana, Nirvana Cakery
Serves: 16 crackers
Ingredients
  • 3 dried figs, finely sliced
  • 100g walnuts (1 cup)
  • 60g sunflower seeds (1/2 cup)
  • 60g quinoa flour (1/2 cup)
  • ½tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • ½tsp sea salt
  • 1tbsp ground flaxseed + 3tbsp water
  • 1tbsp olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350F)
  2. Prepare 1 baking sheet.
  3. Mix the ground flaxseed with water and set aside to thicken.
  4. Place walnuts and sunflower seeds (you can do this separately) into food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground. Scoop into a mixing bowl.
  5. Add quinoa flour, rosemary and sea salt and whisk well together.
  6. Stir in olive oil followed by flax egg.
  7. Bring together into a dough, if needed add in extra water by tsp and blend in chopped figs. The dough will feel slightly wet and oily.
  8. Shape the dough into ball and place onto a baking paper. Using rolling pin roll out into circle until about ¼" thickness. Be patient with the dough, it will crack because of the figs, just use your hands to shape it and push back together.
  9. Using pizza cutter cut the dough into 16 wedges like you would cut a pizza.
  10. Carefully transfer onto a baking tray with the baking paper.
  11. Bake for 15-18 min until golden brown.

    Amazing as always!! I wonder if I could substitute coconut flour or almond meal for the quinoa flour. Any thoughts? Thank you.

      Hi Jan, that’s so good to hear! I think almond meal would work better or you could just add extra sunflower seeds if you like to avoid grains. Thank you so much for commenting:) x

    I stopped buying boxed cracker long ago…so tired of reading the horrific ingredients. It’s about time I try my own and this will be my first shot. Happy feasting!

    HI! Do you thing I can substitute quinoa flour for ground pepitas (pumpkin seed meal)? Thanks.

      Hi Katja, I think it should work. You might need little more than the quinoa flour, just see how the dough feels once it comes together.

    Hi Hana
    I tried these crackers today. I used amaranth flour instead of quinoa flower (which is horrendously expensive here in Switzerland!) which I think works just as well. I like the taste of the crackers, the rosemary and the figs go well together I find.
    My issue was – at least so I think – that the dough was not thin enough so the crackers are not crunchy through the middle. Also, they didn’t brown as nicely as the ones in your pictures. Any idea why?
    Cheers, Kathrin

      Hi Kathrin, great idea to use amaranth instead of quinoa, they are very similar consistency and must have worked well too. It will be tricky to roll these very thin unless you omit the figs. The only suggestion that I have is perhaps to bake them little longer and see if that will improve the crunch for you. Do let me know :)

    I enjoyed these. I added a few more figs and cut them into squares so I could top them with goat cheese and a dab of honey. I’ll be saving this recipe!
