As much as I love baking, I’m not very good at eating the finished product. I had a violent sweet tooth with both pregnancies that has only abated now, so for a while there I was experimenting with making healthier versions of cookies and muffins, but now I’m swarming straight back to savoury and I couldn’t be happier. I feel almost back to normal!
Wholemeal cheese crackers
I love me a good cracker, and one of the easiest recipes ever is this Easy Whole Wheat Cheddar Crackers recipe from Weelicious. Catherine thinks very much the same way I do with kiddo food – fine with treats every now and then, but home-made stuff mostly makes an appearance on our tables. She has one of the best collections of baby + toddler food I’ve ever seen! I always find her inspiring, and most of her recipes go straight to my file on Evernote. (Do you have Evernote? It is RAD. I follow a lot of blogs by email and I forward their recipe posts straight to Evernote, which is a searchable database of whatever you want. Not sponsored, just awesome.)
I used some great little bento cutters I got on my last trip to Tokyo. I thought stars would be cute! The original recipe is an alternative to goldfish crackers, so fairly tiny. And while it’s a drag to cut out so many teeny bits of dough, the end result is way worth it. You can of course make them to whatever size you like. I did end up making some plain squares with sesame seeds sprinkled on top too. We ate them like a pack of starved cheddar-cracker-scoffing wolves.
I made these without the tablespoon of saltless seasoning, and they were still great. And if you’re keen on making them gluten and grain free, my homie Owletmama has a coconut-flour version that is the bomb. I can vouch for both!
Cheese-hater ate them. Heh.
{PS if you’re into that sort of thing, you can now pin stuff straight from my images – just roll your mouse over!}
These look so easy, I’m off to raid the pantry and make some now. And thanks for pointing out that weelicious site!
Oh I’m finding it so hard to get Miss P to eat cheese right now too! Will def be whipping up a batch of these as she is a cracker fiend!
Awesome, I have searched and searched for any easy cracker recipe and just couldn’t find one. Perfect timing too – I am having a little morning tea tomorrow with a few of Master 4’s friends for his birthday. Thanks!
They look fantastic, I think my boys would love them.
Hit me!
Goldfish are one of the food items I miss the most from back home…and Chex Mix…and Life Cereal.
I will try these for sure!
Oh my babies are going to love these! Thank you so much 🙂
Oh yeah these look great I think I could even cook them with my limited skills. Going to try today. Tricking the cheese hater pmsl.
Cute! Cheese is my favourite food group.
Awww those little crackers are so cute! (so is that gorgeous bear bowl!)
Yummo, we’ve just spent this rainy afternoon making these. We used coconut flour and they have a lovely slightly chewy texture. We used up some cheeses we had left over from a big family lunch. Thanks for the inspiration Stacey.

Hi Stacey – when it says whole wheat flour – can I assume it means wholemeal plain flour? I want to try them for my boy is a little bit older than Smalls. Cheers. Tina
Yep, all good! (sorry for the delay in my reply, I’ve been away!)
