Homemade Seed Crackers (Print View)

Crunchy crackers packed with flax, sunflower, sesame and chia — thin-baked, crisp, great with dips or cheese.

# What You'll Need:

→ Seeds

01 - 1/2 cup flax seeds
02 - 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
03 - 1/2 cup sesame seeds

→ Dry Ingredients

04 - 1/4 cup chia seeds
05 - 1 cup rolled gluten-free oats
06 - 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 1 cup water
09 - 2 tbsp olive oil

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine flax seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, oats, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Stir in the water and olive oil until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia and flax to absorb the liquid.
04 - Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into an even, thin layer (about 1/8-inch thick) using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
05 - Score lightly with a knife or pizza cutter into squares or rectangles for easy breaking after baking.
06 - Bake for 35–40 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until golden and crisp.
07 - Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into crackers along the scored lines.
08 - Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You can mix and match seeds based on what’s in your pantry and every batch will still turn out deliciously crisp.
  • They make snacking at home feel a little more special and earthy—plus, store-bought crackers never quite measure up anymore.
02 -
  • Skipping the soaking time means your crackers won’t hold together—once I got impatient and ended up with a tray of tasty crumble.
  • Using coarse salt led to salty clusters; fine salt really does distribute so much better for that balanced flavor in every bite.
03 -
  • If you lift a corner and it bends, give the crackers a few extra minutes to finish crisping—they firm up more as they cool.
  • A sprinkle of flaky salt on top just before baking transforms each bite into something bakery-worthy.
