Home Baked Faux “Cheez-It” Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne
  • 1/4 tsp. white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. dried turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup grass-fed butter, softened

Directions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix all the dry ingredients in a food processor and slowly add the cheese, eggs, and butter. When you can form the dough into a ball, roll it out between two pieces of parchment paper and press the dough evenly across the pan. Bake the crackers for 10 minutes. At this point you can gently cut them into little squares the size of Cheez-Its. Place the crackers back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the crackers, and break them up into squares. Once they’re all broken up, put them back into a turned-off oven or the dehydrator to crisp up. Watch carefully in the oven, as they will burn quickly. Once they’re cool, these crackers can be stored in an airtight container—although these don’t last long in my house.
