Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds with water and let sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, salt, baking powder, and dried herbs if using.
Add the flaxseed mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Adjust with a little more flour or water if necessary to achieve a firm but pliable dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the rolled-out dough into squares or desired shapes using a knife or cookie cutter.
Transfer the cut dough along with the parchment paper onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before breaking apart the crackers along the scored lines.
Store the sugar-free buckwheat crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
