The Whole Foods I shop at used to have Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt Cashews in the bulk section...and I loved them!! Unfortunately you know they were roasted in crappy vegetable oil and would be very easy to make yourself! They no longer carry them, I could make them or I could get a bit more creative and make a cracker recipe out of cashews in the same flavor. Let this recipe be a template for you to make any cracker flavor you'd like with any nut you'd like! I loved the spiciness of the pepper and couldn't get enough of these!!! This could easily be turned into a sweet cracker with a touch of sweetener and cinnamon in place of the salt and pepper. Looking for other grain free cracker ideas, I have a bunch of different recipes for you!
Cracked Pepper Cashew Crackers
Ingredients
- 2 generous cups raw cashews
- 1 pastured egg
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, butter or ghee*
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- In a food processor, grind the cashews into a flour. Make sure not to over blend into cashew butter, but you want it as fine as possible
- Add in the salt and pepper and pulse to combine
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg and oil together and stir in the flour mixture until combined
- Place the ball of dough in the center of a large piece of parchment paper with an additional piece of paper over top
- Roll out to desired thickness, about 1/8 - 1/4 inch
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into desired size. You may want to sprinkle more salt and pepper over the top of dough
- Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until a bit brown
- Store in an airtight container
Quick notes*I used expeller pressed coconut oil. Macadamia nut oil would be great here too!

*I have recently switched all of my skincare and makeup to a company that is free of 1,500 chemicals!! I am so particular about what goes into my body, I need to be just as picky as to what goes on my body! Your skin is your largest organ and absorbs chemicals into the bloodstream faster than the gut does! I am vain when it comes to my skin and was so thrilled to find products that are anti-aging and work!!! Check out BeautyCounter for more info!! You will love it!!
