Baked Quinoa crackers

This post is sponsored by Kapok Naturals Quinoa flour

My household has been loving Quinoa since the time I have introduced it. My husband has grown fan of Quinoa rotis alot. The main reason I moved to Quinoa is because I don’t eat meat and the vegetarian high-protein options are steep. Initially I was a little skeptical with the taste but once I got a hang of it, I’m substituting Quinoa everywhere possible including my basic Roti (Indian bread)

I used to make a weekly batch of Quinoa flour from the whole grains earlier. But when I found Quinoa flour by Kapok Naturals, online, I knew I had found a gem. This Quinoa flour has low glycemic index (low GI) and the best part is its gluten free. What else could I ask for! I made lots of Rotis from this Quinoa flour and also made these amazingly crispy crackers.

This Quinoa flour is pliable when you add hot water and binds really well.

We love having crackers with our evening cup of tea/juice and now I have swapped store bought crackers with Quinoa crackers. These Quinoa crackers are baked and are loaded with flavors. When you bite into these crackers, that crisp crack is sure to come.

I made this batch for a friend visiting me mid afternoon and we’re loving this snack.
