About the Recipe
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 cup ground flax seeds
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- Any additional herbs or spices you'd like to add for flavor (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground flax seeds, water, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, salt, and any optional spices or herbs you'd like to use. Mix everything together until well combined.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flax seeds to absorb some of the moisture.
4. Once the mixture has thickened slightly, spread it evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. You can use the back of a spoon or a spatula to help you achieve a thin and even layer.
5. Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely. As they cool, they will become more crisp.
7. Once cooled, you can break the sheet of crackers into smaller pieces or cut them into desired shapes.
8. Store the gluten-free flax seed crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy them as a snack or serve them with your favorite dips!
