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 anything crackers should be, crispy, full of flavour and so moreish. I couldn’t stop myself eating them! Inspired by my ever so popular Buckwheat Rosemary Crackers these are much more nutty and just as amazing. Just 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. 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 plus with the addition of the figs you need to be patient when rolling it out. Use your hands to shape and push the dough together as needed. It also depends the way you cut your figs, I’ve sliced mine very thin, but kept the full size 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. Enjoy:) x
