This is not a recipe.
This is a suggestion.
I suggest you make some sprouted spelt crackers.
They are simple. They are nutritious. They are cheap. Even better, they are super crunchy, slightly sweet, and a little nutty.
And they are super satiating. A 4pm couple-cracker-snack kept me hunger free all the way up until my 9pm dinner.
The ingredients are few.
Start with spelt berries.
Sprout them.
A few days later…
…throw them in the food processor with some herbs (fresh or dried), sea salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and maybe some red pepper flakes if you like things a little spicy.
Puree into a dough.
Use wet hands to mash dough cracker-thin onto a silpat, maybe mash in some sunflower seeds while you’re at it.
Bake ‘em at 350* until they are golden brown (mine took about 20 minutes). Turn off the oven and leave ‘em in there for another 15 minutes or so to get dry and crunchy.
Once cool, break them up and snack away.
They are awesome on their own…
or with okra pickles.
Working time: less than 20 minutes. Satisfied belly time: hours.
THESE LOOK DELICIOUS!!! I need to make them!

So jealous you have okra pickles. I didn’t have enough okra this year, and the deer finished off what little remained after our one batch of gumbo. Might have to hit the farmer’s market this weekend. I LOVE okra pickles!
I bought a bag and made just one jar that I will savor for as long as possible!
Great Suggestion! Will try it!
Wow, they look so crunchy! And delicious.
I am terrible at sprouting. These look really good, though.
Could I use kamut, rye or wheat berries for this?
You could definitely use wheat, I haven’t played around with kamut or rye at all so I’m not sure how it would work. I’d love to hear how it turns out if you do some experimenting!
Are you still making crackers? Have any new favorite combinations?
My new favorites are the Rosemary Crunchers! Yum! (http://gracefulfitnessblog.com/2012/01/26/rosemary-crunchers/)
