grain-free crackers {copycat trader joes rosemary raisin crackers}

i adore the raisin-rosemary crisps at trader joe’s – they just don’t adore me back.  (how i wish they made a gluten-free version – are you listening, trader joe’s?)  in the mean-time, i decided to combine those sweet-and-savory-flavors myself in a grain-free cracker.  i think these would be perfect on a thanksgiving cheese tray!

i’m being forthright here: these are very different from the super-crunchy, crisp, light trader joe’s crackers.  but the flavor profiles are similar, with a deeper, nuttier quality.  i’m happy with the result!

these are really good as a vehicle for bean-free pumpkin hummus, in case you’re interested in giving it a try!
