TIPS
- Choose Quality: Use natural or organic peanut butter without added sugar or preservatives for a healthier snack.
- Variety: Try different nut butter such as almond or cashew, for new flavours.
- Topping: Sprinkle with chia seeds, sliced banana or drizzle with honey for extra texture and nutrition.
- Pack Wisely: If packing for on-the-go, keep peanut butter separate and assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter for those with nut allergies.
- Sweet And Savoury: Top with a light sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet twist.
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or paprika to the nut butter for a tangy flavour boost.
- Protein Boost: Add a spoonful of hemp seeds or crushed nuts on top for extra protein.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Keep assembled crackers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day to maintain freshness.
- Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as crackers can lose their crisp texture.
- Best Practices: Store crackers and nut butter separately if preparing ahead, and assemble just before eating to keep them crunchy.
