Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. If using, add the cayenne pepper for a bit of spice.
Add the grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and mix well until the cheese is evenly coated with the flour mixture.
Add the non-fat Greek yogurt to the mixture. Using your hands or a fork, knead the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough. If the dough seems too dry, add an extra teaspoon of yogurt at a time until it just comes together.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1-inch squares.
Transfer the cut squares onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can overbake quickly.
Remove from the oven and let cool before serving. Enjoy your homemade low-fat cheese crackers with dips or on their own!
