Homemade Animal Crackers (WFPB)
Servings 50 small cookies
Ingredients
- 2 TBSP ground flax seed
- 2 TBSP water
- 2 TBSP runny almond butter (or melted coconut oil if nut-free)
- 3 TBSP maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup whole wheat, spelt, or oat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Get out a baking sheet and line with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Mix the flax seed and water in a large mixing bowl. Let sit for a couple minutes until thick.
- Mix in the wet ingredients, then the dry. Mix well until a dough forms. If it's too sticky, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of flour.
- Place dough between two pieces of parchment or wax paper. Roll until a little less than 1/4 inch thick. Cut out with animal cookie cutters (see blog post for link).
- Bake small cookies for 7 minutes, larger cookies for 9. Let cool on baking sheet before removing. Store in airtight container for 2-3 days, or freeze.
