These gluten-free goldfish crackers are made with only 4 ingredients, one of which is a veggie, but you would never know! My whole family (including my husband) loves this recipe. The crackers are so perfectly cheesy and crunchy and make such a delicious snack!
Goldfish Cracker Ingredients & Accessories
Cheddar cheese – I grated a block of cheddar cheese, but if you’re short on time, you could use shredded cheese.
Grass-fed butter – I always use grass-fed butter because it is more nutritious than regular butter. It is a good source of vitamin A , vitamin K2, and the antioxidant beta carotene. It also has a higher proportion of healthy, unsaturated fats and CLA than regular butter.
Steamed baby carrots – I just used a microwaveable steam bag, but you could also steam baby carrots in a small saucepan.
Gluten free flour – I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour. Just make sure that your gluten free flour includes xanthan gum.
Fish cookie cutter – This is the cutter I got off of Amazon. I like that it makes 5 goldfish at once!
Do they taste like the original?
As my mother in law says, they taste better! The real cheese in these crackers gives them so much flavor. And the crunch is just so good! Be careful, they are addicting!
FAQs
I don’t have a goldfish cutter. Is there anything else I could do?
This is the same dough I used for my homemade cheezits! Just roll out the dough and use a pizza cutter to make squares. Sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
There are orange pieces in the dough. What can I do?
The carrots haven’t broken down enough. Make sure they are softened from steaming and blend completely before adding the flour.
