When you’re navigating histamine intolerance and all the other layers of food sensitivity like oxalates and salicylates, — most store-bought snacks are pretty much off the table. I really wanted to create something that felt like a treat, but was still simple, safe, and stashable. These little crackers are just that: freezer-friendly, lightly sweet, and easy to keep on hand when you need something comforting and clean.
Sorghum Flour is naturally gluten-free and brings a naturally complex flavor — almost a soft “spice” — that gives these crackers a surprisingly rich taste for such a simple recipe. Don’t worry though, they’re toddler-tested and approved, so the flavor isn’t too bold for little ones. If you don’t like the flavor of sorghum, you can swap it out with your preferred flour or flour substitute, of course.
I decided to call these “Critter Crackers”— though the cookie cutters are optional of course! I actually used Christmas cookie stamps (because that’s what I had on hand), but cookie cutters like these or any that you have would be adorable for this recipe, year round!
This recipe calls for our delicious homemade vanilla-infused oil recipe that I shared a few weeks ago. If you don’t have any on hand, vanilla bean powder is a great alternative — and both give you that lovely vanilla flavor without any added alcohol, gums, or fermented ingredients.
Freezer Storage
Store them in your favorite freezer-safe container (with parchment between layers). I personally enjoy them straight from the freezer, but you could warm them gently to your preferred temperature in the microwave— whatever works best for you.
Honestly, this recipe is super simple — not a lot of notes needed. Just mix, shape, bake, and enjoy.
However you’re feeling today — overwhelmed, healing, or just hungry — I hope these little crackers bring a bit of comfort and remind you that even the small things can carry grace. It’s amazing how something so simple can nourish both body and spirit.
