Homemade Seed Crackers
$1.04 Recipe/$0.17 Serving
Seed crackers are crispy crunchy crackers are perfect for snacking, dipping or eating alone! These pumpkin seed and sunflower seed crackers are inexpensive and so easy to make!
Blend 1/4 cup of the sunflower seeds in a high speed blender until they resemble sand (20-30 seconds).
Add all the ingredients to a bowl (adding the water last) and stir quickly, making sure the flax doesn't clump. Let sit 5-10 minutes.
Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spray with nonstick spray (coconut oil).
Use a tablespoon to divide out the batter on the parchment paper. Leave room between each because the crackers will spread as you press them down.
Add wax paper or another parchment paper (sprayed) and press down on the crackers one by one until they are all a uniform thickness. Try not to make them too thin or they will crumble when dipping. Think the thickness of a pumpkin seed. Carefully remove the wax paper or parchment paper before baking.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350F.
Take out of the oven and carefully flip over the crackers, they tend to stick in the centers.. Bake another 7 minutes for thinner crackers or 10 minutes for thicker crackers.
Check the center of the crackers after 7-10 minutes. If they still seem soft, turn off the oven and let them sit in the oven as it cools off (check after 5 minutes to ensure they aren't burning).
Once cooked, allow the crackers to cool before storing.
Notes
Note: Serving size is 2 crackers.Storage: Seed crackers last an incredibly long time on the counter – up to 3 weeks covered. However, the first day the crackers still have a ton of moisture in them, so you don’t want to cover the crackers immediately. Give them 12-24 hours to “air dry” then cover them. I typically use a wide mouth mason jar or glass pyrex with a tight fitting lid.Tip: You can easily crush all the seeds (sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds) in the high speed blender together and add the flax, water and spices to the crushed seeds. The recipe will work great this way as well and no one will even know these are seed based crackers!Other spices you could add:
Italian seasoning -1-2 tsp. – this would be my go-to addition if I wanted them to be a bit more flavorful but still very neutral so I could add whatever toppings I love.
Herbs de Provence – 1-2 tsp. this has lavender in it and will give your crackers a unique but very savory flavor.
Za’atar – 1-2 tsp. this will add some sesame seeds too! Za’atar is a combo of sesame seeds and spices including thyme marjoram, coriander and oregano
Ground cumin or smoked paprika – ½ tsp. this will make the crackers have a smoky flavor.
