Kik It Up! Whole Grain Crackers and Cheese Recipe

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option.

whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: spelt flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Spelt flour adds a nutty flavor, while all-purpose is more economical.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Add water gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.

Place the crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Prick each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Store in an airtight container once cooled.
