Homemade Seed Crackers (Printable)

Wholesome, crunchy flax, sunflower and sesame seed crackers baked thin—perfect for snacking and dipping.

# Components:

→ 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 -
  • Once you see how easy they are, you'll swear off store-bought crackers for good.
  • They can be jazzed up with any spice or herb you like so each batch is uniquely yours.
02 -
  • If you spread the mix too thick, the center pieces never get crunchy (I learned this after baking an accidental batch of chewy middles).
  • Lining your tray with parchment is essential—not even the bravest spatula can lift them from a bare sheet.
03 -
  • Slicing with a pizza cutter before baking keeps the pieces cleaner and easier to break apart later.
  • A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking makes them irresistible (trust me).
