Fava Bean Crackers

Baking Crackers Fava Bean Flour Flour Gluten Free Recipe Snack Vegan Vegetarian

by Anna Warden June 23, 2026

These crackers from Anna Warden are incredibly addictive and they naturally happen to be both vegan and gluten free. They're gorgeous alongside a whole myriad of dips, as well as great with cheese or just on their own.

Serves 4–6

Ingredients

100g Fava Bean Flour
50g Cornflour
50g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Flaky Sea Salt (plus extra to sprinkle)
150g Water
1 tsp Fennel Seeds
1 tsp Chilli Flakes
Freshly ground Black Pepper

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 140°C fan.
In a pestle and mortar, very roughly bash the fennel seeds and chilli flakes.
In a large bowl, add the fava bean flour, cornflour, extra virgin olive oil, salt and water. Mix very well with a whisk until the mixture is completely smooth.
Line two trays with baking parchment, divide the mixture between the two and spread as thinly as possible using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle with the bashed fennel seeds and chilli flakes, a very generous grind of black pepper and some more flaky sea salt.
Bake in the pre-heated oven for an hour until golden in colour and dry to touch. Allow to cool completely, then break up into large shards with your hands.
