Whole Wheat Cheddar Crackers
Most Moms of toddlers would agree that there are usually snacks in your house that we like to refer to as “money snacks.” You know the thing that no matter where or when or what situation your child will happily gobble up as many as you give them? We have three over here. Raisins, cucumber slices, and cheddar bunnies. Dang those crispy little things are actually pretty good and addictive! I’ve found myself mindlessly dipping my hand back into the box on more than one occasion. I don’t mind Hugo eating processed snacks once in awhile, but since he loves them so much, (and would seriously eat a handful every day if I let him,) I figured it was time to figure out a healthier homemade version.
These crunchy snacks are made with whole wheat flour, cheddar cheese, butter, and not much else. I added a little salt and smoked paprika for fun, but you could do a pinch of garlic powder or any other spice you like. They were made, baked and ready to eat in about 30 minutes which is awesome for last minute munchies. Next time I think I’ll make a ginormous batch and freeze them since we go through them so quickly.
Hugo approved!!!

Those look and sound yummy!
Is it suppose to be 1 1/2 cups of flour? Thank you
Sure is. Thank you for letting me know :)
I’m so addicted to snacking on crackers, you just can’t stop eating them! These look great, and at least I know they are homemade.
1/12 cup of flour? Are you serious? Why not post weights instead of volumes please?
Sorry I don’t typically use weight measurements except for super delicate recipes like cakes and macarons. I corrected my typo its meant to read 1 1/2 cups!
Love that they look like cheeze-its! (P.S. I know Nadia and Aaron! ;) — totally stumbled upon your site thanks to Pinterest)
Hi Annie! Ah that’s so awesome :)
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the concept of trying to eat food that was made by a person, rather than made by a corporation. This recipe fits the bill perfectly. Love it!
My boys would love me to the moon and back if I made these. So yum!
I think I would have a problem resisting handful after handful of these! So addictive.
Hi Audra,
Do you store these in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator? How long would you say they could keep for (assuming we didn’t eat them all!)
Thanks!
Never store bread or crackers in the fridge (it makes them go stale). They should keep for several days stored in an airtight container at room temp, but can be frozen for 3-4 months, also in an airtight container or heavy-duty plastic bag. I’ve made these delicious savory crackers several times and have to freeze half of them or I’d eat them all in just a couple of days!
Just made these for my daughter tonight. She loves them!! Definitely feel better about her munching on these over the store bought varieties (though we don’t really have anything like that in store in Australia – they all seem to be much larger crackers). Ta! :)
