Seed crackers are a staple in our house. They’re perfect on their own, topped with hummus, cheese, or your favourite spread. The problem? The really good ones can be surprisingly expensive. So, after lots of experimenting in the kitchen, we came up with this version. It’s simple, packed with wholesome ingredients, and just as delicious as the store-bought varieties—if not better. We think you’re going to love them!
- WHAT YOU NEED-
⅓ cup chia seeds
⅓ cup flax seeds
1 cup boiling water
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup pumpkin seeds
4 tbsp sesame seeds ( I use black and white)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
SHIFT HAPPY GUT Seed Crackers
-WHAT YOU DO-
1. Pour the boiling water over the chia and flax seeds in a large bowl. Stir well and let sit for about 10 minutes until thick and gel-like.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Add the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, parsley, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
4. Spread the mixture into a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. The thinner the layer, the crispier the crackers. Score into squares or rectangles before baking.
5. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the crackers are firm and lightly golden. For extra crunch, leave them in for a few additional minutes if needed.
6. Cool completely before breaking apart.
