Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter, chilled
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the nutritional yeast, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
Cut the chilled vegan butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for a minute to create a vegan buttermilk.
Gradually add the vegan buttermilk to the flour mixture, stirring constantly until a dough begins to form. It should be slightly sticky but firm enough to hold together. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into small squares, approximately 1-inch by 1-inch.
Carefully transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
