Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 1 cup Sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 3 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chia seeds and flaxseeds with 1.5 cups of water. Set aside for 10 minutes, allowing the seeds to absorb the water and create a gel-like consistency.
Stir in sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, rolled oats, and whole wheat flour into the seed mixture until combined.
Add olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, mixing well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture evenly between the two baking sheets. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the mixture into a thin, even layer across each sheet. The thinner you spread it, the crunchier the crackers will be.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the sheets from the oven and carefully score the mixture into crackers using a knife or pizza cutter.
Flip each piece carefully and return to the oven to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the crackers are completely dry and firm.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, the crackers will continue to harden slightly, achieving that lovely crunch.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
