Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Chia Seeds
- 1/4 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds
- 1/4 cup Pumpkin Seeds
- 1/4 cup Sesame Seeds
- 2 tbsp Flax Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This temperature ensures even baking for crisp crackers.
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: chia seeds, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and sea salt.
- Add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a thick dough forms.
- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to absorb moisture and create a more workable dough.
- Lightly oil and flour a piece of parchment paper. Place the dough on the prepared parchment paper.
- Place a second piece of oiled and floured parchment paper on top of the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough as thinly and evenly as possible.
- Carefully remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Score the dough into small squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. This will make it easier to break the crackers apart after baking.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. The edges should be slightly darker.
- Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. This allows them to crisp up further. Once cooled, break the crackers along the scored lines.
- Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.

- For an herby twist, mix in 1–2 teaspoons of dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano before baking.
- To achieve extra crunch, allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking tray with the oven door slightly ajar after baking.
- For a nutty undertone, swap a portion of the oats for finely chopped walnuts or pecans.
Expert Tips
- For a cheesy variation, sprinkle grated parmesan or cheddar cheese onto the crackers during the last few minutes of baking.
- Experiment with different seeds like sunflower, pumpkin, or sesame seeds for varied textures and flavors.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional flour until it reaches a workable consistency.
Storage Instructions
- Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container with a small silica gel packet or a few grains of uncooked rice to absorb moisture and keep them crispy for up to a week.
