Spicy Pumpkin Crackers are a delicious addition to cheeses, dips, guacamole, and more, and this recipe is gluten free, grain free, vegan, soy free, and corn free!
Due to the nuances of baking with grain free flours, after the dough has been mixed together, the dough needs to sit for at least five minutes to fully absorb the remaining liquid. This five minute rest is the difference between crispy and soft crackers, so do not skip this step!
Additionally, if you need to keep a strict grain free and gluten free diet, make sure to double check the chili powder that you use in the recipe because corn and wheat are common binders in chili powder.
