Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 can 15 ounce no salt added black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 ounce parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil (or more!)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts (or your favorite nuts or seeds)
  • 2 tablespoons fat (butter, shortening, coconut oil, olive oil)
  • 3/4 -1 cups flour (all-purpose or gluten free)
  • salt to taste
  • cooking spray
  • seasoning (seasoned salt, sea salt, garlic powder, salt free seasoning, etc.)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375. Drain and rinse the black beans.
  • Put parmesan, basil and garlic in the food processor and pulse until chunky.
  • Add black beans, nuts/seeds and fat. Blend until a smooth consistency. This can take several minutes. Add salt to taste.
  • Add 1/2 cup of flour and mix by hand just until blended. If dough seems too moist add more flour a small amount at a time. It should be firm enough to roll and cut, but not so much flour that it is crumbly. Roll dough to about 1/8" thick (thinner is better) and cut into desired shapes.
  • Place on baking sheet, spray with cooking spray and a sprinkle of seasoning.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes until starting to crisp. remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Test a cracker for crispness and return to the oven if too soft.
