KETO CRACKERS

INGREDIENTS

  • ⅓ cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ⅓ cup flaxseed ground or whole
  • ⅓ cup chia seeds
  • ⅓ cup sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder ground
  • 1 tbsp Bagel seasoning
  • 1 tbsp onion flakes
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup boiling water

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F/ 150°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add boiling water and oil and mix all ingredients together. Set aside for 5 or so minutes to let the dough absorb the liquid. After sitting and the water has been absorbed, stir the dough again for a few strokes to fully combine all ingredients and evenly distribute the seeds.
  3. Place the dough on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add another paper on top of the dough and use a rolling pin to flatten it evenly into a rectangle shape. Press or roll the dough as thin as possible and to all the outer edges of the baking sheet.
  4. Remove the upper parchment paper. Place the baking sheet on the middle/lower rack of your oven for about 40-45 minutes. Seeds tend to be heat sensitive so check occasionally for browning.
  5. Turn off the oven and leave the crackers to dry in the oven until the oven is fully cool, up to 2 hours
  6. Once the seed crackers are dried and completely cool, break into pieces and enjoy.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. Seed crackers must be fully cooled and fully dried before storage.

Leftover tip: If your leftover crackers have become slightly limp or soft, simply place them on a lined baking sheet and into a 300°F/ 150°C oven for 5 or so minutes to redry them. Start with 5 minutes, but up to 10 minutes back in the oven will crisp up the crackers again.

EASY HOME MADE FIVE SEED CRACKERS

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds (I used a mix of black and white sesame seeds)
  • 1/4 cup flaxseed (linseed)
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp dried herbs of your choice
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 340° F/170° C fan forced.
  2. Mix all ingredients together and leave for 10-15 minutes for the seeds to soak up the water.
  3. Give everything a good stir, then split the mixture over two lined baking trays and spread thinly. The ideal thickness is about 3-4 mm. Too thin and the crackers will be very fragile, too thick and they’ll be more like a seed cookie than a cracker.
  4. Bake for one hour (switching the trays around halfway through), or until golden brown and crisp. If they don’t feel crisp after an hour, return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, then break into irregular shards. Store in an airtight container.

FLAX BISCUITS

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground (or milled) flax seeds
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan or Romano cheese
  • 1 tsp minced fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F) 180C and spray a cookie sheet (or two) with olive oil spray.

  3. Spray a clean countertop or large cutting board with nonstick spray. Spray your rolling pin with olive oil spray.
  4. Form your dough into a ball and place on the oiled counter. Roll it out as thin as you dare. The thinnest ones of the batch were the best.
  5. Use a biscuit or cookie cutter if you have one, or just use a sharp knife to cut a grid of 3 cm squares. Use a small spatula or pie server to transfer the individual squares (or any shape) onto your pan. Keep rerolling and cutting your scraps until the dough is all gone.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, turn and bake another 3 minutes. If you want them super crispy, turn the oven off and then put the crackers back in after it’s cooled a bit but is still warm. Leave them in for about an hour and they will continue to dry out until super crispy.

EASY ALMOND PULP CRACKERS

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup wet almond pulp (the amount leftover from making almond milk.)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds
2 tablespoons fresh herbs, or 2 teaspoons dried herbs, such as chives, rosemary, or parsley
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)

Water, as needed

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350F 180C.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond pulp, oil, ground flax or chia seeds, herbs, and garlic, if using, and stir well.

If the dough looks dry, add water one tablespoon at a time, just until it can easily be pressed together between your fingers.

Transfer the mixture to a sheet of parchment paper and place another sheet of parchment paper on top.

Use a rolling pin to roll the cracker mixture about 1/8-inch thick, or as thin as you’d like your crackers to be. (The thinner they are, the crispier they’ll be.)
