Ingredients
- 1 cup flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
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 4: Preheat the Oven
- While your seed mixture is setting, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). This ensures that your crackers will bake evenly and turn out nice and crispy.
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
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Halfway through, rotate the sheet to ensure even baking. You’ll know the crackers are done when they’re golden brown and crisp to the touch.
Step 7: Cut and Cool
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool slightly. While they’re still warm, use a knife or pizza cutter to cut them into squares or any shape you like. Let them cool completely on a wire rack to ensure they get nice and crispy.

Notes
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.
