There’s something special about creating snacks from scratch — knowing exactly what’s in them, using wholesome ingredients, and infusing them with love and purpose. These Rosemary-Raisin Crackers are a perfect example of how simple, clean ingredients can come together to make something both nourishing and satisfying.
It’s wonderful when you’re gardening and you plant a bunch of herbs — and this recipe is a perfect way to use those fresh herbs from your garden. The rosemary gives these crackers a beautiful, fragrant flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of raisins and the crunch of sunflower seeds.
They satisfy both sweet and salty cravings and make a lovely addition to any snack board or hors d’oeuvre tray. Pair them with fig spread, apple or pear slices, or thin slices of prosciutto for an elegant, real-food snack that supports your body instead of burdening it.

- 1 cup blanched almond flour

🌱 Healthy Tip & Strategy
Many packaged crackers are filled with seed oils, preservatives, and refined flours that can cause inflammation and blood sugar spikes.
By making your own snacks, you take back control of your health — one recipe at a time.
👉 Try making a batch of these crackers on Sunday and storing them in an airtight container for the week. They’re perfect for pairing with a protein like turkey slices, hummus, or a small piece of cheese for a blood-sugar-balanced snack.
Strategy: When cravings hit, reach for something made with whole, real ingredients — your body will thank you with more energy and less inflammation!
