- Let thaw for 3 - 5 minutes before enjoying.

A note from Dr. Klodas: Full of healthy ingredients in addition to Anytime Sprinkle! And tastes great! But if your goal is weight loss, this is not a low calorie treat. However, it will keep you feeling full and is certainly a better choice than most dessert options.
Anytime Crackers
Ingredients
- 2 packages of Anytime Sprinkle
- ½ cup of flour
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together. Spray the baking sheet with oil and transfer ingredients to the sheet. Press/roll until ⅛ inches thick.
- Sprinkle with sea salt, cracked black pepper and flaxseed.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes - watching closely so that they don’t burn.
- Remove from the oven and cut into desired sizes.
A note from Dr. Klodas: I love this recipe because it helps turn Sprinkle into a savory item. You can make it even healthier by using a whole wheat flour - or even experimenting with ground ancient grains. Amaranth anyone?
