These Gluten-Free Vegan Crackers are crispy and crunchy, super easy to make and full of flavour! They make the perfect snack or appetiser to serve with vegan cheese, pâté, hummus or a dip!
I always wondered whether it was worth making crackers at home, but honestly they taste so much better than the shop-bought ones as the taste and texture is so much fresher. Plus, you can easily customise them to fit your flavour preferences!
What are these Gluten-Free Vegan Crackers made of?
These Crackers are mainly made using a combination of oats and sunflower seeds. I also added poppy seeds for nutty flavour and rosemary for fragrance. Oil helps them crisp up in the oven whilst water helps them bind together. You can scroll down to see some substitution options!

How to make these Gluten-Free Vegan Crackers + top tips
- Place all the ingredients apart from the water into a
food processor.
- Adding the water a bit at a time (because you don’t want to add too much), whizz until it forms a mixture that’s easy to stick together but firm enough to roll out easily, and still retaining some texture.
Tip: You might need to mix it around a few times so that it all blends together evenly.
- Transfer this mixture onto a sheet of baking paper.
- Place another sheet of baking paper on top of the mixture and use a rolling pin to roll out the mixture until it’s around 5mm (1/4 inch) thick.
Tip: Try to roll it into as much of a neat rectangular shape as possible.
- Use a sharp knife to slice it into even rectangles – you should be able to make around 26.
- Transfer these onto a rectangular baking tray lined with baking paper (I had to divide mine between two baking trays).
- Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes, until firm to the touch.
How long do these Gluten-Free Vegan Crackers keep for?
These Crackers keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days – they’re perfect for making ahead when entertaining!
