MASALA PEPPER CRACKERS I WHEAT CRACKERS I LOW CALORIE SNACKS I BAKED SAVORY BISCUITS

Hi friends, how are you all?? Hope all must be busy with Christmas celebrations… My weekend was very surprise and super happy with my sister’s surprise visit. We had a good time together. I prepared strawberry thumbprint cookies, peanut butter cookies, peanut mawa ladoo for them. They really enjoyed all and I packed it and sent for our lil angel.  I was prepared the masala crackers on Thursday evening and packed it for next day to take photographs. But due to my sis’s surprise visit, am totally forgot the crackers, then today morning unexpectedly I have seen the crackers box, and then only I took photographs and now posted here.

I prepared the crackers from +Divya's Space, but I added besan flour and oregano with the original recipe but it really come out very well. The cracker was quite dominating with pepper flavor, so I named it as Masala Pepper Crackers… It’s very easy to prepare and perfect low calorie snack for winter time. I really enjoyed every bite of the crackers. Its really guilt free snack which was prepared in whole wheat flour and with spices, so you can taste it anytime and I already prepared biscuits with whole wheat flour.
