How to Make Crispy Almond Flour & Chia Seed Healthy Crackers

Ingredients

1 cup (100g) almond flour
2 tablespoons (30g) chia seeds
1 tablespoon (10g) flax seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/4 cup (60ml) water
2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, chia seeds, flax seeds (if using), salt, and garlic powder (if using).
Add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
Place the dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a second sheet of parchment paper over the dough.
Roll the dough thinly between the two layers of parchment paper, about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness.
Remove the top layer of parchment paper and score the dough into cracker shapes without separating them.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the crackers are firm.
Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up.
Once cool, break the scored crackers apart and store in an airtight container.
