Nelson Mandela Challenge Bread or How to make delicious Cranberry and Pumpkin Seed crackers!

Profile picture for user Danni3ll3

Last week, I participated in the Nelson Mandela Challenge Bake and ended up with a delicious if dense bread. We were not eating it very quickly so I decided to turn it into crackers. The density was right and with a few minutes in a 350F convection oven, my dense bread turned into delicious Cranberry and Pumpkin Seed crackers.

Sliced thinly ready to go into the oven

Baked to a golden brown

All ready for eating and storage!

This is delicious with homemade hummus. I discovered an amazing low fat hummus recipe that actually tastes good. I love garlic and this delivers.

1 can of chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans), drained

2 Tablespoons of fresh Lemon Juice

3 Tablespoons of PB Fit or powdered peanut butter

1/2 Teaspoon of coarse salt

1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic in oil

6 Tablespoons of water (I use the liquid from the drained chickpeas)

1 tablespoon of ground flax seed (Optional-I skip this)

 Blend and enjoy. :-)

 

 

I heartily approve, your crackers look wonderful and will be plenty sturdy for hummus or other dips.

We ate a few slices of the one(s) I made (yes, 2 loaves). They are sliced and in the freezer, but I was away on business much of the week. Will have to try some toasted in the morning.
