Easy Pumpkin Crackers
If you’re looking for a homemade cracker that’s both easy and allergy-friendly, these pumpkin crackers are it. They’re thin, crisp, and lightly seasoned, and they’re completely egg-free, dairy-free, and nut-free.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp ground paprika
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with the olive oil. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Split the dough in half. Place one half between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into 1-inch squares. Use a toothpick or fork to poke small holes in the center of each cracker. This helps prevent the crackers from puffing up while baking and ensures they stay flat and crisp.
- Transfer the entire sheet of parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Repeat the process with the second half of the dough.
- Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly golden and firm to the touch. Let the crackers cool completely before serving, they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- Try to roll the dough to an even thickness so all the crackers bake at the same rate. Aim for 1/8-inch thick so that the crackers come out crispy instead of soft.
- If the dough seems sticky or sticks to the parchment paper, add a little extra flour to help roll it out.
- Don’t skip the holes! Poking holes helps create that classic cracker texture and keeps them from puffing.
- Watch closely while baking. Since ovens vary, keep an eye on them toward the end to avoid over-browning.
- Crisp them up more if needed. If they’re not as crisp as you’d like, bake for an additional 2–3 minutes.
