Flour free unleavened crackers

[blissful]

This recipe was so easy I don't know why I haven't tried it before!
Seed crackers
1 and 1/2 cups of ground flax/ground chia seeds/wheat germ mix (which I keep in quart jars in the freezer and we have it with 9 grain flakes or oatmeal) it's 1/3 flax, 1/3 chia, and 1/3 wheat germ.
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup of black and white sesame seeds
1 T garlic powder
1 T onion powder
1 T smoked paprika (optional)
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
2 cups of water...add slowly mixing by hand. Let sit 10 minutes. Add more water if needed. It should spread easily on parchment paper on 1/2 sheet pans using a silicone spatula. I filled 1 and 1/2 of the half sheet pans. Bake at 350 deg F for 30 minutes, turn down the oven to 300 deg F and bake until crisp even in the middle of the sheet which took me about an hour. Then peel off the parchment and let it cool, break it into pieces and eat.
I used ground flax and chia, but some recipes use whole flax and chia: https://recipebylila.com/chia-flax-seed-crackers/

I'm always on the look out for cracker recipes that don't depend on oil/fat/butter/lard unless it is nut butter or seed butters or the nuts or seeds themselves.
I might make the next batch with some oatmeal so they aren't so rich.
Do you make an easy cracker you and your family likes?

Sounds fascinating and I think my DIL will love it. I've saved it bliss, thank you!

what did you mean by "rich"??

LOL, went to the link and it sort of begs the question on how you ever got to that cracker recipe! Her blog is almost strictly carnivore - not exactly your thing, eh?
In any case - doesn't matter - you found what looks like to be a delightful recipe!

Well, rich means rich with fat/oil or in the case of the cracker's nuts/seeds. It gives them their crispy crunchiness. By adding a little oatmeal which is starchy healthy grain, it is less rich but still retains some of the crispiness. A less rich cracker can be eaten more often and with more abandon. A super rich cracker would only be eaten in limited amounts.

No I'm not 'carnivore' which means meat.
I don't pay much attention to labels, carnivore, etc.
The recipe is super easy. The baking crackers curl up on all the edges, maybe you can tell they are done that way.

I've read that whole flax seeds and whole chia seeds pass through the body without breaking up. The nutrition they hold stays inside the seed. That's why I grind them. I guess that's why I've always ground them.

Yes, I read that too. Long time ago. At the same time only grind as needed as they can lose a lot of nutrient when ground in advance.

Hard time convincing a friend not to buy pre-ground.

sounds interesting

They are really very little work once the flax and chia seeds are ground up. They smelled really good baking in the oven. I ate more of them today. They kept their crispness.
