Satisfy your snack cravings in a wholesome way with these Raw Unbaked Buckwheat Sesame Raisin Crackers! Packed with nutrient-dense ingredients like raw buckwheat groats, sesame seeds, and flaxseed, these crispy crackers are naturally gluten-free, vegan, and made without any baking. The subtle sweetness of raisins and a hint of optional cinnamon elevate their flavor, making them a delightful balance of savory and sweet. Using a dehydrator at low temperatures preserves their raw, nutrient-rich profile, while their light and crunchy texture makes them perfect for pairing with your favorite dips or enjoying on their own. Easy to prepare with just 20 minutes of prep time, these homemade crackers are an innovative and healthy snacking option designed for clean-eating enthusiasts.
Rinse the buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold water and soak them in a bowl of water for 4-6 hours. Once soaked, drain and rinse again.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soaked buckwheat groats, sesame seeds, raisins, and ground flaxseed.
Add water, sea salt, and ground cinnamon (if using) to the mixture. Stir well until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture has a slightly sticky texture.
Line a dehydrator tray with a non-stick sheet or parchment paper. If you donβt have a dehydrator, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set it aside to air-dry in a warm spot.
Spread the mixture evenly on the tray in a thin layer (approximately 1/8 inch thick). Aim for a consistent thickness to ensure even drying.
Place the tray in the dehydrator at 115Β°F (46Β°C) and let it dry for 6-8 hours. Flip the crackers halfway through the drying process to ensure even dehydration. If air-drying, it may take up to 24 hours.
Once the crackers are completely dry and crispy, break them into desired-sized pieces.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
