Homemade Seed Crackers (Printer-Friendly)

Wholesome, crisp seed crackers with flax, sunflower, sesame and oats — great for dips or snacking.

# What You Need:

→ Seeds

01 - 1/2 cup flax seeds
02 - 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
03 - 1/2 cup sesame seeds

→ Dry ingredients

04 - 1/4 cup chia seeds
05 - 1 cup rolled gluten-free oats
06 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)

→ Wet ingredients

08 - 1 cup water
09 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

# Steps:

01 - Set the oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flax, sunflower and sesame seeds with the chia, rolled oats, salt and black pepper; mix until evenly distributed.
03 - Pour in the water and olive oil and stir until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive; allow to rest for 10 minutes so the chia and flax absorb the liquid and bind the mix.
04 - Transfer the hydrated mixture onto the prepared sheet and press into an even, thin layer about 1/8 inch thick using a spatula or the back of a spoon, smoothing the surface for uniform baking.
05 - Lightly score the surface into squares or rectangles with a knife or pizza cutter to make breaking the crackers easy after baking.
06 - Place the tray in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through, until the edges are golden and the surface is firm and crisp.
07 - Remove from the oven and allow the sheet to cool completely so the crackers set, then break along the scored lines into individual pieces.
08 - Transfer cooled crackers to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to one week.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • These crackers have a crunch that practically echoes across the table — and they actually taste like seeds, not cardboard.
  • You can change up the seasonings every single time and nobody will ever guess it&aposs the same basic recipe.
02 -
  • Don&apost rush the cooling step — impatiently breaking warm crackers will leave you with more crumbs than you bargained for.
  • Letting the dough sit before spreading actually makes scoring way easier and keeps the crackers from falling apart.
03 -
  • Batch-baking and freezing the crackers keeps me stocked for busy weeks and last-minute get-togethers.
  • Scoring just deep enough — not all the way through — makes for perfectly breakable, not crumbly, crackers.
