Recipe
Makes 3 ½ to 4 dozen crackers
Ingredients
1 cup (150 g) whole wheat flour
1 cup (150 g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (50 g) packed light brown sugar
2 tsp (10 mL) finely grated orange zest
1 tsp (3 g) ground cardamom
1 tsp (3 g) ground black pepper
1 tsp (3 g) baking powder
1 tsp (5 g) baking soda
½ tsp (2.5 g) salt
2 cups (500 mL) buttermilk
¼ cup (60 mL) maple syrup
2 Tbsp (32 g) fancy molasses
1 cup (100 g) loosely packed chopped dates
1 cup (100 g) roasted pumpkin seeds
½ cup (70 g) dried cranberries
½ cup (65 g) pecan pieces
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 ºF (180 ºC) and grease a 9 x 5 (2 L) loaf tin or terrine.
2. Stir the flours, brown sugar, orange zest, cardamom, pepper, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, maple syrup and molasses together. Add this to the flour mixture and whisk until blended. Stir in the dates, pumpkin seeds, cranberries and pecan pieces. Scrape this into the prepared pan and spread to level. Bake the loaf for about 50 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Cool the loaf in its tin for 30 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. It’s best to make this a day ahead, then wrap and chill overnight before slicing (a chilled loaf cuts into thin slices more easily.)
3. Preheat the oven to 300 ºF (150 ºC) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
4. Slice the chilled loaf as thinly as possible using a serrated knife. Place the slices onto the prepared baking trays - they can be quite close together. Toast the slices for 20 minutes, then remove the trays, flip the crackers over and toast another 20 minutes until browned and crisp. Let the crackers cool on the tray. If the crackers still feel soft after cooling, then can be returned to the oven.
Tips and Substitutions
The crackers will keep for up to a week in an airtight container.

[@fainachait8904]

Best crokers. Thank you very much.

[@tameramarinaro]

These are incredible! For a non-dairy version I used Flax milk with lemon juice in place of the buttermilk and I would think any nut milk with an acid would work.I also used leget dates (softer and sweeter date), 2 cups whole wheat white flour and a few tablespoons of flax seed. The only problem is I can't leave them alone! lol

[@victoriassecretisluv]

My sister accompanied the cracker with goat cheeze drizzled in honey . It is blowmind !

[@macrumpton]

Your thin slicing skills are very impressive!

[@patriciacaine3703]

I love your recipes and I'm trying the crackers today. For the second bake can they be done like your biscotti on racks, so they don't have to be flipped? I hope you and your family are well in these trying times of lockdown because of the Corona Virus. Best wishes from England.

[@juditedsouza8369]

Hi Anna, I tried this recipe and it turned out great. Thank you for sharing. I would like to know how you store them so as to remain crispy.

[@ashleylala4293]

Whenever crackers lose their crisp, youbcan usually recrisp them in the toaster oven with low heat and the convection fan on.

[@jansonkaniaz]

What is the brand of the measuring cup?

[@sunivabaptista8149]

Hi Anna. Can I use golden syrup instead of molasses?

[@ariel3725]

So It's kinda like a biscotti?

[@orlaboland4969]

@ohyum What preservative would extend shelf life on these?

[@jmirvinggbooks]

THAT"S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT EAT IT!!! Sometimes she doesn't eat it and my sisters and i get so "mad' when she doesn't lol! We are so used to watching Laura Vitale. But we love Anna Olson though too!

[@april77able]

Anna, can we substitute maple syrup with honey

[@guesswho2390]

Can I skip the molasses if I don’t have it? And can I use milk or yogurt and water instead of buttermilk? They look so good! I love crunchy snacks

[@ohyum]

Molasses gives this recipe it's rice colour and flavour. If you don't have buttermilk you can make your own substitute. measure one cup of milk and add a couple tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar. Give it a stir.

[@dinahasheesh1035]

What's a substitute for maple syrup
