FLAXSEED CRACKERS
Flaxseed crackers are great alternatives to wheat-based crackers. Naturally gluten free, low in carbs, and high in unsaturated omega 3 fats and fibre, these flaxseed crackers are super healthy, super tasty and super easy to make! Find out how to make them with just 2 simple ingredients.
If like me, you eat a low carb and gluten free diet, it generally means eating lots of protein, healthy fats, and lots veggies. Super healthy. Yet while I love eating great wholesome foods that are unprocessed, sugar free and low carb, sometimes I just crave something crunchy or crispy like biscuits, crisps, and crackers etc. Texture plays a huge part in food appreciation as well as taste.
Discovering FLAXSEED CRACKERS was the best thing in the world. Having eaten a super low carb diet for so long while suffering with Candida overgrowth, finding a crunchy food that was still low in carbs, gluten free and gut friendly was incredible. I could finally spread pate on a cracker instead of celery crudités! Joy!!
As they are low in carbs and high in fibre they’re a great snack for those who follow a keto diet, anti-candida or gut friendly diet, anti-inflammatory diet, or a diabetic diet.
These delicious flaxseed crackers really couldn’t be any simpler to make. All you need are 2 simple ingredients – whole flaxseeds (also known as linseeds) and water. And you can add whatever seasoning or herbs you want to make them a bit fancier. Try rosemary and salt, or basil and garlic powder.
Yum! What you waiting for?
Prep Time: 35 mins Cook Time: 50-55 mins Total Time: 1hr 35-1hr 35 mins
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Flaxseeds
1 cup Water
Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Put the flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let it sit for 30 mins.
Give it a stir to make sure all the water has absorbed into the seeds making for a gloopy mixture and preheat the oven to 150°C
Place a silicon mat or a large piece of non stick parchment paper on the counter and pour the gloopy mixture onto the centre of the sheet
Place another large sheet of parchment paper over the mixture and start to spread the mixture out into a large thin layer. You can just use your hands and fingers or a rolling pin to flatten and spread it out evenly and as thinly as you’d like. A good thickness is about 3 layers of seeds so that it won’t be too thin and likely to fall apart
Gently peel away the top sheet of parchment making sure you don’t pull away any seeds
Season with salt or other herbs at this point
Bake for 30 mins and remove from the oven
Use a pizza cutter or blunt knife to slice into squares of desired cracker size and then return to the oven for a further 20-25mins
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before gently separating the crackers
There you have it. As simple as that. Super tasty and healthy crackers for any occasion.
What will you spread on your crackers?
