Healthy Flaxseed Crackers

Quick, Easy & Perfect for Platters

 

If you love a good grazing board or need a last-minute healthy snack for holiday entertaining, these flaxseed crackers are a lifesaver.

They’re crisp, nutty, and full of fibre – perfect for pairing with dips, cheese or hummus.

Plus, they’re gluten-free, super easy to make, and better for you than store-bought crackers with seed oils, sugar and other additives.

If you want to have a go at making your own, try these flax seed crackers. They only take about half an hour to whip up, using just ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, water, salt and seasoning.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup ground flax seeds
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a large baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and slowly add the water, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Place the dough on the baking tray and using your fingers, press it out to an even layer ¼ inch (5mm) thick. If it breaks up just press it back together.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the dough into the desired cracker shapes as this helps them to break smoothly once they are baked and cooled.
  • Bake the crackers in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and set aside to cool completely before breaking into individual crackers.

Notes

Crackers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
The chia seeds can be swapped out for other seeds, such as sunflower or sesame.
Try other herbs and spices such as garlic & paprika, or mixed herbs.
