How to Make Homemade Super Seed Crackers

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons whole flax seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, ground flaxseed, whole flax seeds (if using), sesame seeds, chia seeds (if using), sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together.
Add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon more water; if it feels too sticky, add a tiny bit more almond flour.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out thinly, about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick.
Remove the top parchment sheet. Score the dough into cracker shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
Transfer the bottom parchment with the dough onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 12-18 minutes, until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will become crispier as they cool.
