Simple easy flaxseed crackers
Easy & Healthy Savory Flaxseed Crackers
This is an extremely easy, quick, and healthy savory snack recipe. Flaxseed is a high-fiber superfood, so use it bravely whenever and wherever you can!
Flaxseeds are a fantastic addition to low-carb diets because almost all of their carbohydrates come from fiber. Because of this, they won't cause spikes in your blood sugar levels. They are also packed with essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin B1, magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium.
As a rich source of healthy fats, antioxidants, and fiber, modern research suggests that flaxseed can help lower the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Plus, flaxseed meal is incredibly affordable!
These crackers are incredibly easy to prepare. They are the perfect accompaniment to any cream soup or salad, but they are also delicious enough to enjoy on their own as a bread substitute.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups ground flaxseed
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tbsp healthy oil (olive, avocado, or canola)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
- Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder or dried basil. If you aren't strictly dairy-free, I highly recommend adding 1 cup of sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese for an amazing flavor boost!
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Mix the ingredients Preheat your oven to 380°F (190°C). Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until you achieve a loose, playdough-like texture.
2. Roll out the dough Cut two pieces of parchment paper to the size of your baking sheet. Place one piece on a cutting board and put the dough on top. Place the second piece of parchment paper over the dough and roll it out to an even thickness.
3. Add toppings and score Remove the top layer of parchment paper. Spread any additional seeds evenly over the dough and gently press them in. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. Slide the bottom parchment paper with the scored dough directly onto your baking sheet.
4. Bake and cool Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then break them apart along the pre-cut lines.
Pro Tip: You can top these crackers with any seeds you like, such as chia, extra flaxseeds, or crushed cashews. They are also fantastic topped with a sprinkle of cheddar or Parmesan cheese. Feel free to experiment with seasonings like basil, oregano, or black pepper! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a few days.
