Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Seed Mixture
First things first, gather all your ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds. These seeds will be the foundation of your crackers, providing all the crunch and nutrition you need.
Step 2: Add Seasonings
Next, add the sea salt, oregano, and red chili flakes to the seed mixture. Give it a good stir to make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed. You can adjust the amount of chili flakes depending on how much heat you like.
Step 3: Add Water
Pour the water into the seed mixture and stir well. The water will help the chia and flaxseeds form a gel-like consistency, which will bind everything together. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the seeds to absorb the water and thicken up.
Step 5: Spread the Mixture
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour the thickened seed mixture onto the parchment paper (brushed with olive oil) and spread it out evenly using a spatula or a rolling pin. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm). The thinner you spread the mixture, the crispier your crackers will be.
Step 6: Bake the Crackers

Tricks and Tips for Making Perfect Seed Crackers*
- Even Thickness: Spread the mixture as evenly as possible to avoid uneven cooking. This ensures that all parts of the cracker get equally crispy.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different herbs and spices. Try adding rosemary, thyme, or even a bit of garlic powder for a new twist.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the crackers in the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent burning. Every oven is different, so they might be ready a bit sooner or later than the suggested time.
- Cooling Time: Let the crackers cool completely before storing them. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
