Calories: 28kcal
Equipment
- 2 parchment paper
- 1 Blender with a spice or seed grinding attachment.
Ingredients
- 150 g flaxseeds whole seeds
- 1 teaspoon flakey sea salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon rosemary freshly chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 80 ml water added bit by bit.
Instructions
- Grind the flaxseeds in your blender, or using the spice or seed grinder attachment on your food processor.
- Pre-heat your oven to 180℃/360℉
- To a large bowl add the ground flaxseeds, sea salt, baking powder, chopped rosemary, and garlic powder. Mix to combine evenly.
- Bit by bit add water to the flaxseed mixture, mixing well. You want a thick mix that will stay on your mixing spoon.
- Line a baking tray with parchement paper and turn out the flaxseed cracker mixture onto it. Roughly smooth out the cracker mixture with a spatula.
- Lay a second piece of parchment paper (baking paper) over the top of the cracker mixture, and use a rolling pin to rolll out the mixture to around 3-4mm thick.
- You might need to remove the parchement & cracker mixture from the baking tray to achieve this- depending on how wide your rolling pin is.
- Add the cracker mixture back to the tray still sandwiched between the two sheets of parchment.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment, then use a sharp knife or rolling cutter to score lines into the crackers lengthways and widthways to create rough squares.
- Add any extra toppings to the crackers (optional) and tamp them down a little with a spatula.
- Put the crackers into the oven at 180℃/360℉ for 30 minutes or until crispy. Leave to dry out and cool down in the oven for a few hours.
- Snap apart the crackers and eat with hummus or store in an airtight container.

Notes
Here are some great ways you can switch up this recipe or add other flavors:
- Pumpkin seeds or Sunflower Seeds -press these larger seeds into the top of the flax dough before baking.
- Sesame seeds and chia seeds -add up to 50g of each of these seeds into the flaxseed cracker mixture before mixing in the water.
- Different flavor ideas: - sprinkle over bagel seasoning, add in smoked paprika and/or nutritional yeast. Sprinkle on any dried seasoning powder- why not try za'atar, tajin or furikake - before baking.
