Calories: 40kcal

Ingredients

1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup all-purpose or gluten free flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup water

Instructions

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add olive oil and water, and stir until well combined.
Let the mixture rest for a few minutes—this allows the chia and flaxseeds to absorb water and create a gel-like consistency.
Spread the mixture thinly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. The thinner, the crispier!
Bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden and crisp.

Notes

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
For extra freshness, keep in a dark, cool place like a pantry.
Freeze for long-term storage: Place in a sealed bag and freeze for up to 2 months.

Troubleshooting & Pro Tips

Crackers are too soft? → Spread the mixture thinner before baking and bake a little longer.
Crackers are breaking apart? → Make sure the mixture has rested long enough for the chia and flax to create a gel that binds everything together.
Not crispy enough? → Let them cool completely before storing. They crisp up as they cool!
Make it your own: Swap sunflower seeds for sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds for hemp seeds! Just don’t skip the chia or flaxseeds, as they hold everything together.
