It is officially Christmas platter season, and we have been having so much fun making toddler-friendly festive snacks. This recipe pairs the most Christmassy of flavours into a cracker form: stuffing crackers! They taste like classic holiday stuffing with the sage and onion herbs, and a hint of garlic and rosemary, but in a crunchy little biscuit that kids absolutely love.
They are light, simple to make and the perfect base for dips, hummus, vegan cheese or veggie toppings on your Christmas board. We paired these with a really simple but effective hummus wreath topped with basil, tomato for baubles (finely dice this for young kids!!) and a little carrot ribbon to finish.
Vegan Sage and Onion Stuffing Christmas Crackers
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 150 g plain flour (or wholemeal, spelt, or oat)
- 15 g nutritional yeast (optional but gives a savoury cheesy note kids love)
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch salt and pepper (to taste)
Wet ingredients
- 60 ml olive oil
- 2-3 Tbsp water (start with 2 Tbsp, and knead together, if its too dry add a little more )

- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Pour in the olive oil and rub it through with your fingers until the mixture looks crumbly.
- Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough out to 2 to 3 mm thickness (we do this between two silicone baking sheets or baking paper).
- Cut into festive shapes, or cut into squares for simple crackers.
- Transfer the cookies to a lined baking tray, and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until lightly golden.
- Allow to cool completely on the tray so they crisp up properly.
