Description
These easy homemade flaxseed crackers are incredibly crispy and perfect for dipping in your favorite dips, served with cheese on your charcuterie board, or enjoyed on their own. Naturally low-carb, gluten-free and vegan too.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Line: Preheat the oven to 325F (160C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Flaxseed Meal and Chia Seeds: Mix the flaxseed meal and chia seeds in a bowl. Add the water and let sit for 10–15 minutes so the seeds absorb the water and form a gel-like consistency.
- Add Poppy Seeds, Sesame Seeds and Condiments: Stir in the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt to taste.
- Spread on Parchment: Spread the mixture on the previously prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and use your hands to spread the mixture evenly, about 1/4-inch thick. Make sure it’s evenly spread and not too thick in the middle (to ensure the crackers cook evenly).
- Bake Until Ready: Bake for 30–35 minutes, then check for doneness. The edges should be crisp and dry. If the center is still soft, flip the whole sheet over and bake for another 10–15 minutes.
- Cool Before Cutting: Cool completely, then break or cut into pieces.
- Serve and Enjoy: Perfect for snacking, dipping, or pairing with guacamole, hummus or cheese on a charcuterie board.
Notes
Flaxseed Meal: I used mix of brown and golden flaxseed meal. You can either make your own homemade flaxseed meal (ground flaxseed), or buy store-bought flaxseed meal.
Chia Seeds: Since this recipe doesn’t use eggs, we’re using chia seeds (on top of the ground flaxseeds) to add binding powder to the crackers.
Poppy Seeds: I added poppyseeds, but if you can always use more sesame seeds if you don’t like or don’t have access to poppy seeds.
Sesame Seeds: Feel free to use a mix of both white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds.
Condiments: I flavored these crackers with garlic powder and dried oregano, but you can add other types of seasonings which you prefer (such as onion powder, dried parsley, etc.)
