2 Ingredient Vegan Cheez-Its

Vegan 🌱 Baby Led Weaning 👶🏼 Suitable 12+ months 

Cheez-its that are gluten free, ready in 15 minutes… and only have 2 ingredients. Now that’s the perfect snack for toddlers (and everyone really). These 2 Ingredient Vegan Cheez-its are made by using a shredded cheddar style vegan cheese, however use whatever cheese you like that melts well. These are so tasty, go really well in lunchboxes, plus you can substitute the almond flour for oat flour if needed to make these nut free. We use almond meal that still has some of the brown husk in it, however if you prefer the pale one colour opt for blanched almond flour (we have a cheese free version of these coming up so keep your eyes out for them next week).

2 Ingredient Vegan Cheez-Its

5 from 1 vote

Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time 8 minutes minutes

Servings 25 Crackers

Ingredients

• 1 cup/ 100g of shredded/grated Vegan Cheese (you can use other styles, just make sure it melts well)
• 1/2 cup/ 50g of Almond Meal or Almond Flour (oat flour can be a suitable replacement)

Instructions 

• Preheat the oven to 180c (350f).
• Add the cheese to a pot and heat over medium heat until melted, keep stirring as it doesn’t take long. 
• Remove from the heat and immediately stir through the almond flour until a dough like ball combines (don’t leave this sitting around as it will go solid as the cheese cools).
• Place between 2 sheets of baking paper and roll thin (we like these extra thin around 0.2cm, however up to 0.5cm works well).
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score into whatever sized squares you like - we opt for larger to avoid any choking issues of trying to swallow a whole chunk.
• Optional: use a skewer or chopstick to create little holes in the middle (just for aesthetics).
• Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes (once the edge starts very lightly browning). 
• Remove and allow to cool, these will firm up as they cool and have a crunch to them, however will gradually soften over a few hours, which is how we prefer them for a tasty, slightly crispy but tender cheesy snack.

Notes

Store in an airtight container on the bench for 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
