Seed Cracker Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flax seeds

  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds

  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

  • 1 cup sesame seeds

  • 1/3 cup poppy seeds

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • 2 cups warm water

Instructions:

  1. Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

  2. Mix: In a large bowl, combine all the seeds with the warm water. Add the sea salt and give the mixture a thorough stir. The warm water will soften the seeds slightly, making them stick together, which is crucial for the cracker formation. Let this mixture sit for about 30 minutes; during this time, the seeds will gel together, thanks to the flax seeds' natural binding properties.

  3. Shape: After the resting period, spread the seed mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for a thin layer to ensure your crackers will be crisp and evenly baked. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to score the spread-out mixture, marking your desired shapes and sizes for the crackers.

  4. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes. Watch for the edges to turn a golden brown, signaling your crackers are done. The goal is a crisp texture throughout, so keep an eye on them, especially towards the end of baking, to prevent burning.

  5. Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool. They will further crisp up as they cool down, giving you that perfect crunch.

Enjoy!

Serve these seed crackers as a hearty, healthy snack any time of the day. They're excellent with cheeses, dips, or simply on their own. Not only are they packed with essential nutrients from the seeds, but they're also customizable with your favorite seasonings or herbs. Enjoy the process of making and eating these wholesome crackers, knowing you're treating your body to a snack that's as nutritious as it is delicious.
