Homemade Seed Crackers (Printable)

Crisp gluten-free seed crackers with flax, sunflower, sesame & chia. Ready in under 1 hour; great with dips and 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 Advice:

01 -
  • They stay perfectly crispy for days, and nobody will guess theyre gluten-free.
  • You can flavor them any way you like, so they never get boring.
02 -
  • If you try to remove the crackers before theyve cooled, they will break and be chewy instead of crisp (learned just once the hard way!).
  • Letting the batter rest the full 10 minutes makes a night-and-day difference in how well they hold together after baking.
03 -
  • Letting the baked tray cool completely on the counter is the difference between crisp and soft crackers.
  • Score deeply before baking if you want uniformly shaped crackers for gifts or parties.
