Homemade Super Seed Snack Crackers
Have you ever tried making your homemade crackers? I absolutely love too!
So, why bother when you can just buy a box at the store?
When you make your own cracker, you control the ingredients and especially the amount of salt. If you are looking to reduce salt or just looking to eat more whole foods, you need to try making your own crackers. Homemade crackers are actually quite easy to make and a great activity to do with the kids.
Try making a batch this weekend and have homemade crackers for lunches and snacks all week long.

Description
Homemade super seed crackers. These yummy crackers are super easy and fun to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 hemp hearts
- 1 cup pepita seeds (or pumpkin seeds)
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1.5 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast or grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except water.
- Add the water. Stir with a spatula until combined. Allow the mixture to sit for a couple of minutes until the chia seeds absorb the water. After the 2-minute rest, when you stir the mixture, you shouldn’t see a pool of water on the bottom of the bowl.
- Prepare 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide and spread the mixture with a spatula evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Take another piece of parchment paper the same size and place on top so you can roll out the mixture into a large rectangle, making the cracker about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. If desired, lightly sprinkle additional salt on top.
- Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully flip each rectangle with a spatula. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes more, until lightly golden around the edges. Watch closely near the end to make sure they don’t burn. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes on the pan and then break the rectangles into crackers and let cool completely on the pan. Store in an airtight container or jar on the counter for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the crackers in freezer bags for up to 1 month.
Notes
- If the crackers soften while storing (this can happen in humid environments), toast them in the oven on a baking sheet at 300ºF for 5 to 7 minutes. After cooling, this should return them to their former crispness!
