Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can 15 ounce no salt added black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 ounce parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh basil (or more!)
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup pine nuts (or your favorite nuts or seeds)
- 2 tablespoons fat (butter, shortening, coconut oil, olive oil)
- ¾ -1 cups flour (all-purpose or gluten free)
- salt to taste
OPTIONAL
- cooking spray
- seasoning (seasoned salt, sea salt, garlic powder, salt free seasoning, etc.)
Instructions
- 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 ½ 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 ⅛" 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.
