Crunchy Seed Crackers – Perfect for Snacks or Platters 🌱🧀
These nutrient-packed crackers are ideal for lunch, a healthy snack, or to accompany a cheese, olive, and dip platter. Loaded with seeds and wholesome oats, they’re crunchy, satisfying, and completely customizable with your favorite flavors.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup flaxseeds
- ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 4 tbsp psyllium husks
- 1½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1½ cups water
Optional Flavor Ideas (for half the batch):
- Rosemary, Garlic & Smoked Salt: 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, ½ tsp garlic powder, smoked sea salt to taste
- Fig, Anise & Black Pepper: 3 large dried figs, 1 tsp anise seeds, 1 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir well.
- In a separate cup, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and water. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the dough is fully soaked and thick. Add 1–2 tsp water if the dough is too stiff to stir.
- Divide the dough in half. Set one half aside and mix in your chosen flavorings with the other half.
- Form the flavored dough into a ball, place it between 2 sheets of baking paper, and roll out into a thin sheet. Remove the top layer of paper and gently score the dough into squares or triangles. Repeat with the second half.
- Leave the dough to rest at room temperature for 2 hours, or longer if desired.
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Slide the scored dough onto a baking tray using the bottom baking paper. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip carefully (don’t worry if it cracks) and remove the backing paper.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden, crisp, and fully dried.
- Let cool completely before breaking along the scored lines. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
✨ Tips:
- Mix and match flavors for variety.
