Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional Seasonings & Add-ins

  • Herbs such as dried rosemary, thyme, or basil
  • Garlic powder or smoked paprika
  • Cayenne pepper or chili flakes for spicy version
  • Sunflower seeds or sesame seeds for extra crunch
  • For cheesy flavor: nutritional yeast or finely grated Parmesan
  • For sweet version: cinnamon and a touch of honey instead of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the Seeds and Water: Combine chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and water in a bowl. Stir well and let sit for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens into a sticky dough as the seeds swell and bind.
  2. Add Flavors: Stir in salt and any optional herbs, spices, or other flavorings you choose to infuse the crackers with your preferred taste from the start.
  3. Spread the Dough Thinly: Place the dough mixture between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll it out as thin and evenly as possible; thinner dough yields crunchier crackers.
  4. Score and Bake: Using a knife or pizza cutter, score the rolled dough into cracker-sized squares. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 30-40 minutes until the crackers turn golden and crisp.
  5. Cool and Break Apart: Allow the crackers to cool completely before breaking them apart along the scored lines, which helps maintain their crisp texture.

Notes

  • Roll the dough as thinly as possible for the best crispiness.
  • Use ground flax seeds rather than whole seeds for better binding and sturdy texture.
  • Allow crackers to cool fully to keep them crunchy and avoid sogginess.
  • Try sprinkling sesame seeds or sea salt on top just before baking for added texture and flavor.
  • Store crackers in airtight containers away from moisture to maintain freshness.
  • If crackers lose their crunch over time, refresh them in a warm oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes.
