We’ve finally cracked the code for homemade goldfish crackers that are not only delicious but also gluten-free and dairy-free! 🥳 The store-bought version is banned in our house!
These cute gold fish crackers are packed with flavor and are so much cuter than the store-bought kind. My family went wild for them, and I’m pretty sure yours will too!
To make these, we used almond flour as the base (makes them a bit more crumbly than the originals, but honestly, who cares!) and nutritional yeast to get that cheesy, savory flavor that we all love. Trust me, they’re so addictive and easy to make! 😋
Here's what you'll need for one tray (highly recommend to make 2 x the amount):
optional but very cute: Gold Fish Cookie Cutter
1 cup organic almond flour
2 tsp tapioca starch
2 tbsp (organic) nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter (or any other vegan fat)
1/2 tsp freshly grated turmeric (for color!)
3 tsp paprika powder (more color!)
1 tbsp water
1 egg yolk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, turmeric, onion powder, and salt. Pulse for a few seconds to mix.
Add the butter (I make little cubes) in small chunks and blend until the dough starts to form.
Add the egg yolk and water, and blend until the dough sticks together.
Place it in a bowl with lid and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
After chilling, roll the dough out to about 1/4" thick. Use a goldfish-shaped cookie cutter to cut the crackers or slice them into squares (but the little fishies are so adorable right). We also drew cute faces with toothpicks!
Place the crackers on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly toasted. Let them cool before enjoying! Store in airtight container for school snacks :)
Let me know how you like them !!
