Green Tea Crackers

These are for Margreet, who very generously donated the Matcha Powder to experiment with. Green tea is high in antioxidants, but also contains caffeine so these may not be the ideal snack for your little cherub to eat in vast quantities, the odd one or 2 shouldn't be a problem (1 tsp of powder is enough for the equivalent of a cup of tea, this quantity of mix makes about 40 crackers - depending on size…). 

Mini Monster loves them, but I'm not sure he's the best judge as he will pretty much eat any carbohydrate (unless someone has touched it with 'wheat fingers'!). If you're not keen to try the green tea, just leave it out and make plain crackers.

2oz Gluten Free White Bread Flour (would probably work with gf plain flour too)

4oz Ground Almonds

1tsp Arrowroot or Kuzu 

1/4tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

1tsp Coconut Oil (room temperature so it's soft) or other oil

1tsp Matcha Green Tea Powder (or 2tsp if you want a stronger green tea taste)

50-60mls Lemon Juice or Water

Put dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

Add lemon juice (or water) and coconut oil.

Bring together with a knife.

Knead lightly until smooth ball formed.

Cover with cling film and flatten slightly with your hand.

Roll out (under cling film) until 2-3mm thick.

Cut into squares with a sharp knife (or use a biscuit cutter for different shapes).

Place on baking tray.

Bake at 180ºC for 15mins.

If they are not crisp enough put them back in the oven at 160ºC for another 10-15 mins
