Copycat Mary’s Gone Crackers is the recipe today. When you decide to eat a diet of just wholesome foods, it’s hard to find a cracker that fits this criteria.
It was quite disappointing to read labels and find most crackers contained added sugar or highly processed grains. I also keep wanted to find a healthy cracker that my picky toddlers would eat.
I finally found a good one in Mary’s Gone Crackers. They are organic, vegan, gluten free and non GMO verified. I love them and so do my kids, but at $4 a box, they can be quite pricey.
Since we go through them so fast, I thought I would try making a homemade Mary’s Gone Cracker version. They came out really good!
You also should try my Homemade Fig Newtons and my Homemade Nutri-Grain Bars.
They are pretty easy to make and you can add in your own ingredients to customize your favorite flavors. It’s also a great recipe to do with your kids. Not really a lot of messy ingredients or measuring.
I find when I get my kids involved in the prep work, they are more likely to eat the food.
For starters, I just did a multi-seed cracker. I really love their herb flavor, so that will be my next batch. I also threw some chia seeds because they are so good for you.
I try to toss them in everything from baked goods to smoothies and in between. To help keep costs down, I bought all of the ingredients out of the bulk bins at Whole Foods. Here is my recipe.
