Banana Flax Crackers Recipe 435

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 150° C (300° F) and lightly spray a whoopie pie (or cupcake) tin with cooking spray. Mix mashed banana, flax seed meal and flax seeds together. Drop teaspoonful portions into each whoopie pie (or cupcake) cavity. Press down the mixture in each cavity using either the bottom of a glass/cup or your fingers to form a thin, flat round. Take a pinch of sesame seeds and sprinkle over top of cracker mixture. Press seeds down gently. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes. Remove tin from the oven and turn out crackers onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Yield: 24 crackers When cooled, store in a zip lock bag or an air-tight container. They will last longer if stored in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 and grease a 12x15 inch cookie sheet. In a med. size bowl using a pastry blender, mix butter, flour and 1/8 teaspoons salt together until crumbly.
• Using a fork, stir in Tabasco and banana.
• On a floured surface, knead mixture gently adding a small amount of flour if necessary to make the dough firm.
• Divide dough into half and roll out one half at a time on a floured surface until thin enough to cover prepared cookie sheet. Place dough on cookie sheet and sprinkle lightly with the coarse salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut through dough into 1" squares.
• Bake 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Remove crackers with a spatula and place on a wire rack to cool.
• Repeat with second half of the dough.
