Super Seed Crackers Recipe

Introduction

Super Seed Crackers are a crunchy, wholesome snack packed with nutritious seeds and whole grains. They’re easy to make at home and perfect for pairing with your favorite dips or cheeses.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (70g) pumpkin seeds
• ½ cup (70g) sunflower seeds
• ¾ cup (75g) large flake rolled oats
• ⅓ cup (55g) flax seeds
• 2 tablespoon (20g) chia seeds
• ¾ cup (105g) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (75g) whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 4 tablespoon (60ml) vegetable or olive oil
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey
• ½ cup (120ml) cold water

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two large baking sheets and line each with two sheets of parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, rolled oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, cracked black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well to blend evenly.
3. Step 3: Add the vegetable or olive oil, honey, and cold water to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a soft, slightly sticky dough but not wet.
4. Step 4: Place one large sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. Dump the dough onto it, then cover with another large parchment sheet. Roll out the dough between the sheets as thin as possible for crisp crackers.
5. Step 5: Transfer the parchment with rolled dough onto one of the baking sheets. Carefully peel off the top parchment sheet.
6. Step 6: Score the dough into 2×3-inch rectangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. You can also skip scoring for a rustic break-apart style once baked.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 13-16 minutes until the crackers are golden brown and dry.
8. Step 8: Remove the baking sheets and cool completely on a wire rack before breaking the crackers along the scored lines or into pieces.

Tips & Variations

• For a nutty flavor, substitute half the oil with melted coconut oil.
• Add herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough for an herbed twist.
• Try using different seeds such as sesame or hemp seeds to vary texture and nutrition.
• Keep the crackers very thin for extra crispness, or slightly thicker for a hearty bite.

Storage

Store the completely cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. They stay fresh for up to two weeks. To re-crisp, warm them briefly in a low oven or toaster oven before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these crackers gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the all-purpose and whole wheat flours with a gluten-free flour blend to make the crackers gluten-free.

How thin should I roll the dough?

Roll the dough as thin as possible, ideally just a few millimeters thick. Thinner crackers will bake crispier and have a lighter texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• ½ cup (70g) pumpkin seeds
• ½ cup (70g) sunflower seeds
• ¾ cup (75g) large flake rolled oats
• ⅓ cup (55g) flax seeds
• 2 tablespoon (20g) chia seeds
• ¾ cup (105g) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (75g) whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

• 4 tablespoon (60ml) vegetable or olive oil
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey
• ½ cup (120ml) cold water

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy transfer.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, rolled oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, cracked black pepper, and baking powder. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Add the vegetable or olive oil, honey, and cold water to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a soft, slightly sticky dough that holds together but isn’t wet.
4. Roll Out Dough: Place a large piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Transfer the dough onto this parchment and cover it with another large piece of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough as thinly as possible between the two sheets for even thickness.
5. Score the Dough: Transfer the rolled dough on the bottom parchment onto a baking sheet. Carefully peel off the top parchment sheet. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, score the dough to create uniform 2×3 inch rectangles for easy breaking after baking. Alternatively, you can skip scoring to break into rustic shapes later.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the crackers for 13-16 minutes or until they turn evenly golden brown and dry to the touch.
7. Cool and Store: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, break along the scored lines into pieces. Store the crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.

Notes

• For a nuttier flavor, consider toasting the seeds lightly before mixing.
• Adjust the thickness of the crackers by rolling thinner for crispier results or slightly thicker for a chewier texture.
• Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version.
• Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
• If you prefer gluten free, replace flours with gluten-free alternatives and ensure seeds/oats are certified gluten-free.
