Flax Crackers
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: About 24 crackers
This recipe is for a garlic and onion flavored cracker – to make it with different seasonings omit the garlic and onion powder and use whatever sounds good – nutritional yeast, rosemary, herbs, chili powder, etc.
Ingredients:
2 cups ground flaxseed (buy seed and grind your own in coffee grinder)
1 cup water (start with 3/4 c. and add more as needed to make a workable dough)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
(optional) ½ – 1 C. sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, chia seed, chopped walnuts or almonds
Directions:
Dehydrate or bake to your liking!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until an even dough forms. Spread evenly onto a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet – about 1/8-1/4 inch thick. Gently cut dough into squares on the baking sheet (you just need to score the dough so it snaps after it’s baked – be careful not to cut up your silicone mat or cookie sheet!) Bake for 20-30 minutes until crisp and edges are browned but not burnt.
