Sweet Potato Crackers (Grain Free)

I've been looking for a grain free/nut free cracker recipe for my two year old to snack on. I didn't find any recipes online. So, I decided to experiment a little to see if I could come up with something myself. I must warn you, this recipe is not perfect. These crackers are only crispy for an hour or two after baking, but they work! My two year old loved them and ate them up. I love a recipe that is simple, nourishing, and tasty! I hope you enjoy these!


Sweet Potato Cracker Recipe

Ingredients
1/2 cup cooked sweet potatoes
2 egg whites (I'm sure 2 whole eggs would work, but I had extra egg whites I needed to use)
1/4 cup coconut oil or butter
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons coconut flour

Method 
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a food processor or electric mixer and mix all ingredients together into a smooth paste.
Spread cracker mixture over a parchment lined baking sheet. 
Spread 1/4 inch thick.

Bake for 15 minutes. Take baking sheet out of the oven and score half baked dough into cracker sized pieces. Spread a tablespoon of melted coconut oil over crackers. Sprinkle with sea salt and return back to oven to bake until crispy, 7-10 minutes. Serve immediately. After a few hours some of the crackers will soften and will need to be re-baked to crisp up.

Note: When I first posted this recipe I forgot to add an important ingredient, eggs! Two eggs are needed to bind the ingredients together. Sorry about that!

Thank you for sharing but is it 1/2 cup diced or mashed sweet potatoes?

Alchemille - It doesn't matter if they are diced or mashed because they will be blended when you make the cracker dough =). I just peeled my potatoes (I baked them with the skin on) and squished them into the measuring cup.

Sounds wonderful! I bet this would work with butternut squash as well! I'm going to try this! As usual I love your recipes!

Have you tried putting them in the dehydrator after they get soft again? I'm just wondering if that would help. Only reason I suggest it is because I make corn tortilla chips from the Ezekial tortillas. I found they softened within a day and just dehydrated them overnight again. This time, they stayed crisp! So, just a suggestion. If you try it, let us know if that helps keep them crisp?

Definitely going to try these! I wonder if leaving them in the oven for a while longer (maybe at lower temp) would help the crispyness issue? Either way they look amazing - thanks for sharing!
