Pinto Bean Crackers

This is so simple and so filling, it'd be crazy not to make it. 

Ingredients

  • 1 can pinto beans
  • 2 tablespoons marinara sauce
  • Two tablespoons of seeds of any kind - I used 1 Tbl pumpkin and 1Tbl chia
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped onion

Method

  1. Blend
  2. Use a spoon to place on parchment paper. Spread it out so its thin. 
  3. Bake at 400 degrees until crispy for about 40 minutes. (Every oven is different so take a peek after 30 minutes. You'll want it to be crispy, but not burn)

The Low Down

Although it has the consistency of a cracker, it has the satisfying effect of pinto beans.  Full of fiber, protein, and vitamins and minerals.  This low-glycemic "cracker" will sustain your energy and leave you full for hours! 

These are super great topped with White Bean Balsamic Hummus and work great as appetizers for a dinner party, a mid-day snack, or part of a wholesome meal.
