As some of you may recall, I posted a recipe for making homemade almond milk a few weeks ago. Since I started making my own almond milk, I’ve been trying to find recipes to use up all the leftover pulp. This week I used some of the almond pulp to make a curry spread for sandwiches (very similar to this recipe, except I replaced the chickpeas with almond pulp) and some crackers as well.
I had a little bit of trouble working with the dough (I think I rolled it too thin and it got sticky), but we were quite pleased with the results. If you like the flavor of sesame seeds and sesame oil and need to use up some leftover almond pulp, you’ll love these crackers…!
Sesame Almond Crackers
Inspired by Angie’s Recipes
If you don’t have any almond pulp, you could try making this recipe with almond meal—I haven’t tried it though, so I can’t guarantee that it will work. You may have to adjust the amount of liquid.
- 1 cup (100 grams) spelt flour
- 2/3 cup (100 grams) almond pulp (leftover from making almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Preheat the oven to 350°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the spelt flour, almond pulp, baking powder, sesame seeds, and salt. Once mixed, stir in the sesame oil and egg until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it is about ¼ of an inch thick. Cut the dough into rectangles or squares, and transfer onto baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and crisp. Turn off the heat and leave in the oven for another 30 minutes, before transferring to wire racks to cool.

We liked the sesame flavor, but the texture was a tad bit dry. I might leave them in the oven for a little less time the next time I make them. |

As I mentioned above, I had a little bit of trouble with the dough, but overall this recipe came together pretty quickly. |

I used whole grain flour, and while the sesame seeds and oil added a little fat, sesame seeds are a good source of beneficial minerals and have been shown to have cholesterol-lowering effects. |

The spelt flour and almond pulp were organic, but the sesame seeds and oil were not. The egg was local, cage free, and organic. |
I love sesame seeds and oil. These crackers are something I am sure I would enjoy very much Sally!
What tasty looking crackers!
the teapot is so cute and these crackers are perfect for tea time.
These crackers look great, like the sesame and how you use the almond pulp…like the crispy texture of this crackers.

Wow, all of these crazy inventive almond pulp uses are fabulous! These crackers sound especially delicious.
Hi Sally, these crackers look and sound really tasty. I still need to try out making my own almond milk. Very creative idea using the pulp. Have a great day.
What a great save with the almond pulp! I bet these are some really nutty tasty crackers with the almond and sesame. They look delicious, but then who DOESN’T love sesame seeds and sesame oil? What a clever recipe Sally!
What a great way to use up all that almond pulp! Now I can look forward to getting two recipes out of one batch. Plus these crackers look terrific!
These crackers look great. I love healthy crackers, and those fit the bill!
