Gluten-Free Sesame Almond Crackers

These high-protein snacks are deliciously more-ish to munch on as they are, or thrown onto an antipasti platter for an original substitution to your standard crackers. While not at all sweet, there is something akin to the satisfaction of eating a biscuit with these. Perhaps it’s just because you can’t stop at just one…

Nutrition Bite: Sesame seeds – sesame seeds are a very good source of manganese, copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. Combined with almond meal, these crackers pack a protein punch!
