Ultimate Seed Crackers (Flax Seed Crackers)

Ultimate Seed Crackers are thin, crisp crackers made from a mixture of ground pumpkin seeds, flax, sesame, and chia seeds, combined with water, salt, and optional herbs and spices. The seed mixture gels before rolling and baking at a low temperature for several hours, resulting in crispy, shelf-stable crackers with a complex seed flavor and texture.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds pepitas
  • 1 cup flax seeds ground
  • ⅓ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cup water
Additional Flavorings
  • Herb Add up to 2 tablespoons of your favorites. I added ½ teaspoon ground garlic, ½ teaspoon ground onion, 1 teaspoon dried thyme and 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Spice Add up to 2 tablespoons of your favorites. I added ½ teaspoon ground garlic, ½ teaspoon ground onion, 1 teaspoon dried thyme and 1 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend the pumpkin seeds. Preheat your oven to 200°F (100°C). Add the pumpkin seeds to a food processor and pulse several times, until it resembles coarse sand.
  2. Mix everything. In a large mixing bowl, add the pumpkin seeds and all remaining ingredients. Stir together for a minute, until the seeds start to gel together.
  3. Roll it out. Grab two 11x17 baking sheets and set aside. Place half the mixture on a large piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll to your desired thickness. Repeat with the other half. 
  4. Score. Use a knife to score the mixture into evenly sized pieces.
  5. Bake. Place the parchment sheets with the cracker mixture onto the baking sheets and cook for 2½ to 3 hours or until fully dehydrated, rotating the pans halfway through. Allow crackers to cool completely, then break apart.

Notes

  • Store crackers in a sealed container in the pantry for up to two weeks to keep them crisp.
