Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2.5 tablespoons Flax seeds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 4 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
- 4 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Rolled oats (gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup Oat flour (gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
Add water to the seed mixture and stir well. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes until the seeds absorb the water and become gelatinous.
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, oat flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Combine the dry ingredients with the soaked seed mixture, mixing thoroughly until you have a dough-like consistency.
Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly, aiming for a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
Score the dough with a knife to create desired cracker shapes, but don't cut all the way through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Then, carefully flip the entire cracker sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crackers are thoroughly dry and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, break the scored crackers apart.
Store the heart-healthy seed crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or with your favorite dips and spreads!
