How many of you have kids that are Goldfish lovers? How many of you are Goldfish lovers? No one said you have to be a kid to like those little fish with the cheesy smiles. 

As you may know by now, or if you are just joining us here at The Cross Legacy, my family chooses not to buy many processed items. We deal with so many food allergies and it’s so difficult to find something that checks all the boxes regarding being allergy-friendly, nutritious, and actually tasting good. We have worked hard to teach our kids that snacks come from the fridge, but….Goldfish were an exception. Not only an exception, but a staple. 

When we discovered how much the food allergies affected our eating habits, we had to switch to products that agreed with our bodies. Bye-bye Goldfish. That was a sad day. We could not find a gluten-free/soy-free option on the market at that point in time, but lucky for you guys, I now have a recipe. I found this adorable little goldfish cracker cutter on Etsy and I knew I had to try it out (for a limited time, you can get the goldfish cracker cutter for 15% off by using the promo code CROSSLEGACY at checkout).

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Notes

 
These come out looking more like the original goldfish, not the cheddar flavor. Next time I make them, I plan on adding a little turmeric for added color. This should not affect the flavor.
You can totally make this with regular all purpose flour if you don’t have any allergies to worry about. 
There is also a way to make a dairy-free version of this recipe as well.

And there you have it! These crackers are so good. I love to eat them as a snack or on top of some yummy homemade tomato soup. They pair really well together!

Happy snacking!
