The Seeds Used in This Recipe

Seeds may be small, but they contain a surprising amount of nutrition.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds help bind the mixture together when mixed with water. They absorb liquid and form a gel that holds the crackers together without flour.

They are also known for containing fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds provide a mild nutty flavor and extra fiber. They also contribute to the structure of the crackers as they absorb moisture during the resting period.

Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds add a satisfying crunch and bring additional healthy fats and nutrients.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds add texture and make the crackers slightly more filling.

Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds add a light toasted flavor and complement the other seeds well.

How to Make 5 Seed Crackers with Chia Seeds

Step 1 Prepare the Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2 Mix the Seeds

In a bowl combine the flax seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds.

Add the salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3 Add the Water

Pour the water into the bowl and stir well.

Allow the mixture to rest for about 30 minutes. During this time the chia and flax seeds absorb the water and create a thick mixture.

Step 4 Preheat the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 5 Spread the Mixture

Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheet in a thin layer about ⅙ inch thick.

A thinner layer will create crispier crackers.

Step 6 Bake

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges become golden brown.

Step 7 Cool and Break

Allow the crackers to cool completely. Once cooled, break them into pieces or cut them into squares.

Serving Ideas

These seed crackers pair well with many dips and spreads.

Popular serving options include:

• hummus
• avocado dip
• yogurt based dips
• buffalo chicken dip
• cheese and charcuterie boards

They also work well as a crunchy topping for salads.

Helpful Tips

Spread the mixture evenly to ensure the crackers bake uniformly.

Allow the crackers to cool fully before breaking them. This helps them become crisp.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
