If you are a fan of Trader Joe’s famous Everything Bagel Seasoning, you are going to love these vegan Everything Bagel Crackers! Made with 4 ingredients only! A great snack served with hummus, or any soup!
If you are a fan of Everything Bagels and love Trader Joe’s famous Everything Bagel Seasoning, you are going to love today’s easy vegan Everything Bagel Crackers recipe. If you haven’t tried making your own crackers, you need to start! It’s a super rewarding little weekend project. I decided to add the famous Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning to take these crackers to the next level. And I have to say, these are a winner!
Now don’t be intimidated by making crackers from scratch – these are super simple to make. The base of this bagel recipe is just four ingredients. Flour, water, salt and oil – all mixed in a bowl. To make these special we add Evertyhing Bagel Seasoning.
To get them rolled out nice and thin, we place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and cover with another piece of parchment paper. It helps to pat down the dough a little before starting to roll the dough. Roll until the dough is about 1-2 mm thick.
What is Bagel Seasoning anyways?
Everything Bagel Seasoning is basically the topping of an Everything Bagel. These days, you see it on everything – not only baked goods like vegan bagels but also for everything bagel tofu, cheese balls, vegan scrambled eggs, hummus, avocado toast you name it – and for a good reason. It adds the perfect salty, nutty, crunchy finishing touch to every dish.
Here are the ingredients you will need for making Everything Bagel Seasoning from scratch:
- Poppy Seeds
- Sesame Seeds
- Black Sesame Seeds
- Minced Dried Garlic
- Minced Dried Onion
- Flaked Sea Salt
Mix 2 tbsp. poppy seeds with 1 tbsp. each of white and black sesame seeds and add each 1 1/2 tbsp or dried minced garlic and dried onion flakes as well as 1 1/2 tsp flaked sea salt
Apart from making Everything Bagel crackers you can use the seasoning for making pita chips or vegan bagels or sprinkle on top of avocado toast.

Everything Bagel Seasoning Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) whole wheat pastry flour or use a mix of all-purpose and wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp everything but the bagel seasoning
- 2 tbsp neutral oil or softened vegan butter
- 3-5 tbsp cold water
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix in the flour, salt, and seasoning. Combine well.
- Add in the oil and mix in, so that it is evenly distributed in the dry mixture, and there are some crumbs of the flour.
- Add in the water 1-2 tbsp at a time, and make a dough that is not too sticky. You don't want to add too much water and keep the dough on the slightly hard side.
- Once the dough comes together, let it sit for 5 minutes, then knead again to make it a bit smooth, then roll it out between two parchment sheets to 1-2 millimeters thick.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, score the rolled out dough, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then check. Move some of the crackers around and bake more if needed.
- I like to bake it with the fan on, but if you dont have fan that works as well.
Notes
- For making your own Everything but the Bagel seasoning, blend 2 tbsp. poppy seeds with 1 tbsp. each of white
and black sesame seeds and add each 1 1/2 tbsp or dried minced garlic and dried onion flakes as well as 1 1/2 tsp flaked sea salt - Don't stress it, if your crackers dough is not perfectly rectangular once rolled out - once the crackers are cut into shapes no one will notice.
- Use a pizza wheel or knife to cut the dough into small squares.
- I like to bake these vegan crackers with the fan on, but if you don't have a fan, that's fine!

March 11, 2021 at 5:26 amEveryone said they were delicious but I couldn’t eat them because I can’t eat oil. Any sub for oil? Thank you!
Danielle says
March 11, 2021 at 8:15 amNumber one, I don’t think it’s fair for you to give this four out of five stars just because you don’t like an ingredient.
Number two, I am going to try this with aquafaba in place of the oil. You could also try flax egg in place of the oil. You could try a few tablespoons of Hannah yam or Yukon gold potato blended in with the water. There are dozens of things you could try.
Number three, if you’re going to do oil-free cooking, like I do, it’s easiest to learn yourself how to sub. It’s empowering! And then you yourself can leave comments about how bada$$ your oil-free crackers turned out.

March 11, 2021 at 7:52 amThese look great, thank you Richa! I hardly ever buy crackers because they’re wrapped in so much wasteful plastic packaging, but I’ve yet to try and make my own. Looks like now is the time! I really appreciate how much care you take in creating such delicious recipes, thank you for all your hard work!

March 11, 2021 at 8:53 amThese look great – a 5 star for sure! Sorry to ask but would it be possible to make them gluten-free – or a recipe in the future. Brain and body needs oil and salt so I’ll never sub that but a gf recipe (if possible) would be nice as I eat glutenfree in particular rice, tapioca, potato and chick pea….I gave it a 5 star since this simple recipe is awesome whether or not I can eat it ….if I could I may eat too many anyway!

March 12, 2021 at 1:00 amI’m never sure how to store homemade crackers. Do you think it’s better in a clamp top jar or something a bit more breathable to keep them crispy? I have my fingers crossed that I’ll get your 2nd cookbook for my upcoming birthday to add to my collection!
Richa says
March 12, 2021 at 7:39 amYea store in a closed container. Moisture changes in the kitchen so keeping them open and out for too long affects crispy ness
Enid Burns says
March 12, 2021 at 1:11 pmThese look great, and easy to make. How long do you think they’ll last in an air-tight container or bag?
Vegan Richa Support says

March 16, 2021 at 12:55 pmDo you think these would work using chickpea flour? I have just started using it for different things.. what do you think?
Richa says
March 16, 2021 at 4:08 pmYes they will. It will just be harder to roll the dough
Lin says
April 1, 2021 at 7:53 amHow did you roll the cracker dough? I think I got it right both dough and parchment paper but you had such an even rectangle. Thanks.
Richa says
April 2, 2021 at 4:38 amI removed the uneven edges.
