Cheeze-Its! (Hopefully raw!)

[poleidopy]

These are SO flippin' delicious! I made SIX batches of them! I now have a fridge full of little baggies of cheeze-it's. I've been eating them every day for a week and I've STILL managed to lose 7 lbs! Yay! I got the recipe somewhere online a few years ago, then tweaked the amounts to my own liking. They actually taste much "cheesier" than cheese-its. Enjoy!

Oh, and forgive me if any of the ingredients aren't truly "raw." I'm still learning *blush * ...

1/2 red pepper
1/4 cup water
1 cup truly raw cashews, soaked
1 TBSP tahini
2 TBSP nutritional yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp onion powder
1 clove (1/2 tsp) garlic
2 TBSP lemon juice
optional: diced jalapeno

blend all ingredients in blender or food processor. Add diced jalapeno if desired. Spread thinly on teflex dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate until crispy then break into cracker-size pieces. Also makes a great nacho cheese dip if you don't dehydrate it. :)

They look YUMMY!

Oh I hope my dehydrator comes soon! I want these NOW

Looks raw to me. And delicious! I instantly thought I must go out today and get more cashews. Then I realized I have an almost indentical mix in the fridge leftover from last night's romaine/veggie boats. (No tahini, I used pine nuts). I was going to use it on kale chips today. I will add the onion & garlic powders and get your crackers in the dehydrator right NOW! Can hardly wait to crunch into a crispy cheezy cracker.

Thanks for sharing.

Crackers are in the D. There wasn't much dressing left so I added more ground pine nuts, ground flax, ground sunflower seeds, and a little water. I'll let you know how they turn out. :)

Started mine earlier today! Can't wait to try them. I'm hopeful my kids will like these as the batter tasted awesome! The last 3 things I've made went straight into the trash. Was getting so discouraged...thanks for the recipe.

blessings to you, CheezIts goddess heheeeee

Thanks for bumping this. It reminded me that I need to make more!

I made some green ones last week. I used a green pepper. I've got a red pepper now, so I need to make more. My husband and oldest son went crazy over these! They were fighting over the last little bit left on the deyhdrator tray.

w0000 h0000! I just put a batch of these in my beloved Debo!!! Tasted the "batter," OH.MY.GOODNESS. They really taste like Cheez Its!! SO YUMMY! My daughter loved it too and can't wait for them to be ready! Thank you so much for this recipe!

[DRiz]

I made a double batch of these yesterday evening. Yum!!

[ShelShel]

Oh, my, word...I'm waiting for my dehydrator to come on Monday....I'm so excited to try this recipe! Yeah. Thank you for sharing!

[FreedomSeeker]

I'll have to try these! What intense endorsements they have. Fun!

[lovenlife]

Me too. I will make these tommorow.

BTW, do you have to have nutritional yeast? Is there a substitution possible? I don't know where to get it!
