INSTRUCTIONS

For crackers

• 1 cup gluten-free flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 1/2 tbsp. sugar substitute (I used Swerve)
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup peanut butter made with the NutraMilk
• 3 tbsp. unsalted vegan or regular butter, cold
• 2/3 cup of any plant-based milk made with the NutraMilk*

For peanut butter

• 2 cups (275g) peanuts (untoasted, unsalted)
• pinch salt (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making the peanut butter:
  • Place peanuts in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 2-3 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid.
  • Leave 1 ½ cups of peanut butter in the NutraMilk and store the rest for later use.

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into the NutraMilk.
• Press ¨Mix¨ to combine.
• Add cold butter a few small pats at a time, and press ¨Mix¨ to combine after each addition.
• Add peanut butter. Press ¨Mix¨ to combine.

• Add plant-based milk of choice a little bit at a time. Press ¨Mix¨ to combine after each addition. Stop adding water when the dough comes together in a ball. You may not need the whole 2/3 cup.

• Roll dough out as thinly as you can. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.
• Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangles, or cut it out using any cookie cutters that you like.
• Poke holes in the dough using a fork. Keep in mind that the holes are not just decorative; they help the crackers bake evenly.

• Bake the crackers on a baking sheet for ten minutes or until the crackers just begin to brown.
• Cool and eat!

Notes:

*You can use regular sugar if you prefer.

*You can use water instead of milk.

*The crackers last for about a week.
