When you babysit a sourdough starter, there is inevitable discard to use up. I’ve used it for flatbreads, muffins, pancakes, griddle cakes, cake, coffee cake (I sense a theme). Today, I wanted to make something savory, so it was these easy-faux-cheezy crackers

Ingredients

1 cups Sourdough discard, fresh or from the fridge
ΒΌ cup melted vegan butter
Herbs/seasoning (today I used fresh rosemary and dried oregano)
Nutritional yeast
Sea salt

Process

Preheat oven to 350* Mix all ingredients except salt. Place a parchment paper on a baking sheet or pan and spread the mix over the parchment, getting it nice and thin! Then sprinkle with sea salt.

Bake for 10 minutes. Optionally, at that point you can take it out and score the crackers if you want them to be pretty and square. Or you can just break them up later. Bake for another 30-40 minutes until your desired level of crispiness.

Allow to *fully* cool before you put them away so they don’t get soggy.

Easy Vegan “Thin Mints”

Ah Girl Scout cookie season! Though many of those delicious little buggers are indeed vegan, they increase in price every year. If you want a cheaper and more accessible alternative, look no further than this easy peasy recipe!


There are no specific measurements because it’s just about throwing ingredients together, it’s super simple.

Ingredients

  • Vegan chocolate chips (or bar form is fine, just cut the bar smaller)
  • Few drops of Peppermint extract
  • Round crackers (we love Ritz)
  • Optional: coconut oil

Directions

  • Melt the chocolate chips with a double boiler method, I like adding coconut oil to make the process easier but it is not required. Stir frequently until no lumps are left.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set your crackers in place
  • When the chocolate is ready, remove it from the heat and add as much peppermint extract as you please. There’s no right or wrong amount.
  • Coat each cracker in the chocolate mixture and place back on the parchment lined tray.
  • Put the delicious ‘cookies’ into the fridge to harden and you’ve got yourself some thin mints!
