These homemade whole wheat crackers take a bit of time with the assembly and cleanup, but they’re a perfectly manageable project and a lovely way to spend some time with a friend or family! These are actually a homemade version of Wheat Thins, lightly adapted from the original recipe shared by Smitten Kitchen. Why we love this recipe: These whole wheat crackers are a fun DIY project that have a delicious nutty flavor. They’re much tastier than store-bought crackers, and it’s fun to say, “Hey, I made those!” We love trying to make homemade and more “natural” versions of store-bought items. Also try our almond cashew crackers, which work for gluten-free diets.
