Paleo Crackers

Everybody knows that going paleo means eliminating all grains including rice, sugar and dairy products.

After a few weeks of eating paleo I have more energy, feel healthier and happy, only one problem... I'm craving pizza, bread, cakes and salty snacks, that's how I discovered this easy and delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

1 cup Almond meal 

2 Tbsp Coconut flour

1/4 tsp Sea salt

2  Egg whites

1/2 tsp Herbes, dry oregano or basil (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven at 350F

Mix all dry ingredients, then add the egg whites.

Form a ball. Roll out a portion of the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper very thin.
Remove the top piece of parchment paper. Take a pizza cutter and score rectangles on the dough.
Place dough/parchment paper on a cookie pan in oven and bake at 350F for 10 minutes.
You may want to check every 5 minutes until the crackers are lightly browned but not burnt. Sometimes I remove the browned ones and then stick the rest back in the oven to keep baking.
Place the crackers on a counter top to cool.
Enjoy!
