Why are seed crackers good for you?
Seed crackers are a healthy alternative to flour-based crackers.
They are gluten-free. They are packed with omega-3 fatty acids known to reduce inflammation, improve cardiovascular health, and improve triglyceride profiles. They contain intestinal healing mucus instead of gluten that covers the intestines.
Necessary materials
½ cup chia seeds ½ cup flaxseed ½ cup pumpkin seeds or candy sunflower seeds ¼ cup sesame seeds 1 cup water ½ TSP sea salt options: garlic powder, rosemary, all bagel seasonings
Allergy Allergy-Friendly Swap: For nut-free needs, use hemp hearts instead of sesame.
How to make seed crackers (step-by-step)
Soak the seeds:
Mix all the seeds, water and salt in a bowl. Leave for 20-30 minutes until gel-like consistency has formed. Preheat the oven:
Set to 325°F (160°C). Arrange the tops with parchment paper. Spread and flatten:
Spread the seed mixture evenly over a thin layer (about ¼ inch thick). bake:
Bake for 30-40 minutes, carefully turn it over and bake for another 15-20 minutes until crispy. Cool & Break:
It cools completely and penetrates cracker-sized pieces.
Be prepared to bake
Adding water to the seed mixture gives gel-like consistency. This gel, if used, comes from the mucus properties of plantain husk powder, flax seeds and chia seeds.
This natural property is perfect for gut health and gives the seed dough a wide consistency to hold together. Also, bake crispy and delicious food.
After baking
These take time to bake. Make sure you want to bake slowly and low so that you can dehydrate and crisp without burning.
Remember that oven temperatures vary and crackers can take more or less time. So pay attention to them when you first make them.
After the solids, take them out and slice them with a pizza cutter to get a square or triangular cracker. You can skip this step and finally break it apart. You have more rustic crackers, but they are just as healthy.
Pro Tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks for the ultimate healthy grab-and-go snack.
