Raw Pulp Crackers of Carrot, Pumpkin, Nuts & Seeds

Raw Pulp Crackers of Carrot, Pumpkin, Nuts & Seeds
Do you love to make your own nut milk and regularly juice, and you're looking at all that beautiful pulp and wondering what to do with it? I use pulps in breads or in dog food, and my favorite; raw crackers. I do like to keep my daily crackers quite plain, so we can eat them with anything; we have them instead of bread.
If you want a more savoury cracker, just add the spices you fancy; curry, chilli, turmeric, etc.

This recipe makes about 3 trays.
Cuisine: vegan, raw
Recipe type: crackers, blender, juicer, food processor, dehydrated
Prep time: 
Cook/wait time: 
Total time: 
You need
  • 1¼ cup mixed nuts (f.e. hazelnuts, almond, walnut, pecan)
  • ¼ cup mixed seeds (f.e. sunflower, pumpkin)
  • 200gr carrot
  • 150gr pumpkin
  • 60gr red onion
  • about 5 gr of fresh ginger (or more if you like)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable stock powder (no salt, low salt or normal)
  • ½ cup flax seeds in ½ cup + a bit water
  • ½ cup chia seeds in 1 cup water
  • 2 cups of water
To do
  1. place flax seeds with their water in a bowl, and the chia seeds with their water in another bowl, let sit for 20 minutes
  2. in the meantime, make your nut milk and pop the dryish pulp in your food processor
  3. juice the carrots, pumpkin and ginger - drink this heavenly juice and throw the pulp in the food processor
  4. roughly chop the onion and add to processor - it's probably a good idea to run the machine at this point, with a cup of the water
  5. add in the other pulp and stock powder
  6. blend till well mixed, then spread out on your dehydrator sheets
  7. dehydrate at 45C for about 2-4 hours. If you do this in the evening, and you want to turn them over before you retire and the top is dry but the bottom side is still wet, then place another sheet or tray on top, flip over, and use a thin spatula (I use a cheese slicer) to detach the 'dough'. Don't worry, it works fine.
  8. then score them
  9. I am not that precise with time, I usually let them dehydrate overnight. Then break them in pieces and put them in a container once cooled down
Notes
I love raw crackers topped with avocado, fresh coriander, a tad of red onion or olives, some smoked kelp... you get the idea. However, peanut butter does the trick for me too 🙂

  1. Carrot Top says

    How much of the heavenly juice is replaced by water?
    I don’t use a juicer and want all of the goodness of the ingredients in my crackers. So, how much should I reduce the amount of water to compensate?

    • Hi there! Thanks for reading and thanks for your post 🙂

      Well, assuming you use a blender, how about you try to make it as thick as possible. See what you can get away with. Add the chia seeds to your mixture and let sit for 15 minutes. I’d aim for ‘blobby’ as you can smear it out on the dehydrator sheet. Should it end up being too thin, I’d probably mix in some psyllium husks, as they absorb water really well, or more chia seeds.

      Hope this is what you meant, keep cooking,

  2. Thank you for a great, versatile recipe as I just made my first batch of cashew milk and have been looking for the best recipe to use the pulp. This is excellent as it is how I like to cook, freedom to experiment, and this is a great basic start to my experiments.
