1/4 cup flaxseeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup water

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the seeds—chia, flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds.
Add the water to the seeds and stir well to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
Let the seed mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia and flaxseeds to absorb the water and form a gel-like consistency.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Once the mixture has thickened, add the almond flour, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), olive oil, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir everything until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly, pressing it into a thin, flat layer.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, score the dough into cracker-sized squares.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure the crackers don’t burn. They should be golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them into individual pieces along the scored lines.

Servings and timing

This recipe yields around 20-25 crackers. It takes approximately 10 minutes to prepare the dough and about 30-40 minutes to bake. Overall, you’ll have fresh, crispy seed crackers ready in under an hour.

Variations

Spicy: Add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to give the crackers a spicy kick.
Herb-infused: Mix in dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for extra flavor.
Cheesy: Add some nutritional yeast to the dough for a cheesy flavor without any dairy.
Sweet version: You can also make a sweet version by adding cinnamon, a little honey, and a handful of dried fruits like cranberries or raisins.

Storage/Reheating

To store these crackers, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to a week. If you want to extend their shelf life, store them in the fridge for up to two weeks. If they lose their crispiness, simply reheat them in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to restore their crunch.
