Ultimate Seed Crackers – Boosted Flax Seed Crackers

When it comes to snacking, it's important to choose options that are both delicious and nutritious. Unfortunately, many store-bought crackers and munchies are loaded with fillers and preservatives that can do more harm than good for our bodies. Luckily, there's an easy solution; homemade seed crackers. These tasty snacks are made with a variety of seeds and herbs that not only enhance their flavor but also increase their nutritional value.

By making them yourself, you can control the ingredients and ensure that you are getting the best possible snack. This recipe is a take on the classic flax seed crackers, but with a twist.

What are the Ingredients in these Seed Crackers?

By incorporating a range of different seeds and herbs, you will get a delicious and unique flavor that's sure to satisfy your taste buds. And the best part? They are incredibly simple to make, so you can whip up a batch in no time at all. They contain only a small number of entire foods, such as:

A few pumpkin seeds
Flax seeds, sesame seeds, and chia seeds
Water and salt

After that, you can add any other flavorings, such as dry herbs and spices. I included thyme, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder in the batch you can see. But go ahead and be imaginative. A smokey zaatar or paprika spice, in my opinion, would be fantastic!

How to Make Seed Crackers

To make these delicious homemade seed crackers, I always start by blitzing the pumpkin seeds in my trusty small food processor until they reach a coarse, sand-like texture. From there, I mix the ground pumpkin seeds with ground flax seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, salt, and water in a bowl until everything is well combined. As I stir the mixture, I notice it start to thicken, which is all thanks to the magical chia seeds.

To make the crackers, I spread half the mixture on a piece of parchment paper, cover it with another sheet of parchment paper, and roll it out to the thickness I desire. Sometimes I like to make them thicker for scooping up dips, while other times I go for a thinner, more delicate chip that cooks faster. Once I have the mixture spread out to my liking, I score the chips to make them easy to break apart after baking.

Then, I pop them in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 ½ to 3 hours, depending on the thickness of the chips. When they are done, I let them cool before breaking them up into bite-sized pieces. I love making these seed crackers because they are so easy to customize based on my preferences. Sometimes I will add different spices or herbs to the mixture to switch up the flavor.

Plus, they are a much healthier alternative to store-bought crackers, which often contain unhealthy additives and preservatives. With these homemade seed crackers, I can indulge in a tasty snack without any guilt!
