Homemade Seed Crackers (Printable)

Crunchy, gluten-free seed crackers with flax, sunflower, sesame and oats. Baked crisp, ready in under an hour.

# What You'll 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 tsp fine sea salt
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 1 cup water
09 - 2 tbsp olive oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine flax seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, oats, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Stir in the water and olive oil until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia and flax to absorb the liquid.
04 - Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into an even, thin layer (about 1/8-inch thick) using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
05 - Score lightly with a knife or pizza cutter into squares or rectangles for easy breaking after baking.
06 - Bake for 35–40 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until golden and crisp.
07 - Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into crackers along the scored lines.
08 - Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
