Why These Crackers Are So Loved
No flour. No oil. No additives. Just seeds and water.
These crackers are proof that snacks don’t need to be complicated to be delicious. They’re crunchy, satisfying, and incredibly versatile—perfect when you want something to munch on without reaching for processed snacks.
Once people try them, they’re often shocked by how good something so simple can be.
Why Seeds Work on Their Own
Some seeds, especially chia and flax, naturally form a gel when mixed with water. This gel binds everything together, so you don’t need eggs, flour, or oil. When baked slowly, the mixture dries out and turns beautifully crisp.
Basic Seed Cracker Recipe
Ingredients:
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or ground flaxseeds
- 1 cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
That’s it.
How to Prepare Them
- Add all seeds to a bowl.
- Pour in the water and mix well.
- Let the mixture rest for 15–20 minutes until it thickens into a gel.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Spread the mixture thinly and evenly (very important for crunch).
- Bake at 160°C / 320°F for about 40–50 minutes.
- Flip halfway if possible, or score into squares before baking.
- Bake until dry and crispy.
Let cool completely—they get crunchier as they cool.
How to Eat Them
- As a snack on their own
- With hummus or avocado
- With soups or salads
- As a bread substitute
They’re filling, so a small portion goes a long way.
Helpful Tips
- Spread very thin for maximum crunch
- Store in an airtight container
- If they soften, re-bake for a few minutes
- You can change seed ratios based on what you have
Optional Flavor Add-Ons (Still Healthy)
- Dried herbs
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Crushed cumin seeds
Add these to the dry seeds before water.
