Homemade Seed Crackers (Printer-Friendly)

Oven-baked seed crackers with flax, sunflower and sesame — crisp, nutty, and ideal with dips or cheese.

# What You'll Need:

→ Seeds

01 - 1/2 cup flax seeds
02 - 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
03 - 1/2 cup sesame seeds

→ Dry Ingredients

04 - 1/4 cup chia seeds
05 - 1 cup rolled gluten-free oats
06 - 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 1 cup water
09 - 2 tbsp olive oil

# Method:

01 - Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine flax seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, oats, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Stir in the water and olive oil until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia and flax to absorb the liquid.
04 - Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into an even, thin layer (about 1/8-inch thick) using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
05 - Score lightly with a knife or pizza cutter into squares or rectangles for easy breaking after baking.
06 - Bake for 35–40 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until golden and crisp.
07 - Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into crackers along the scored lines.
08 - Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The satisfying crackle and earthy toasty aroma makes these irresistible straight from the oven.
  • They're incredibly versatile—perfect for scooping up dips, layering with cheeses, or just munching solo.
02 -
  • Don’t rush the resting time—undergelled dough leads to crumbly crackers that fall apart.
  • Switching to a second piece of parchment for rolling makes ultra-thin, ultra-crisp crackers achievable and mess-free.
03 -
  • Parchment paper makes shaping, rolling, and cleanup effortless—it’s worth doubling up for thinner crackers.
  • A quick sprinkle of flaky sea salt before baking provides an addictive finish that rivals anything from the store.
