# Ingredient list:

→ 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

# How-to:

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 Advice:

01 -
  • You will be amazed how simple seeds and oats transform into irresistibly crisp crackers.
  • They stay wonderfully crunchy all week, making snacking feel just a bit more wholesome.
02 -
  • If you try to remove the crackers from the tray before they’re cool, they’ll bend instead of break and lose crunch.
  • Scoring the dough just right keeps the crackers uniform and easy to portion—press lightly so you don't slice through but firmly enough for a helpful guide.
03 -
  • Rolling the dough thinner between two sheets of parchment makes for extra crispy crackers.
  • Let the dough rest for the full ten minutes so the seeds do their magic—that’s what binds it all together.
