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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
