How To Make Gluten-Free Seed Crackers
This Seed Cracker recipe is very easy to make, so what are you waiting for, please pay attention to the steps below.
- All ingredients are mixed in a bowl
- Add water
- Leave or soak for 10 minutes until the water is absorbed
- Spread the dough in a thin layer on the baking sheet
- Bake for 50 minutes until dry and the color turns brown.
Usually, I distribute the seed mixture on two baking sheets, this ensures that the mixture is spread very thinly. The thinner the seed mixture, the crunchier it will be when you bite into it.
If the mixture is a bit thick, then what you get is not crunchy, but your snack will taste soft. It still tastes delicious but you lose the crunch and crunch, so one tip to make the mixture crunchy is to spread it as thinly as possible on a baking sheet.
Ingredients
You can use various types of grains, we use flax seeds, chia seeds, and oats as binders because they are grains that absorb water well.
Other seeds that we sometimes use are hemp and sesame.
Large seeds are sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds
I seasoned the crackers with cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
Finally, water is important because it can bind all the grains well.
Making Substitutions
Making Seed Crackers does require a lot of grain, if you don’t store a lot of grain in your house, it will be difficult to make the Seed Cracker Recipe.
You can try buying grain from bulk stores or from wholesale stores to reduce costs.
Note: Hemp hearts are the commonly used seeds but these are expensive, we replaced them with cheaper sesame seeds.
If you use different seeds, pay attention to the following things:
- Add good binding ingredients such as flax seeds, chia seeds, and oats, this is important for maximum water absorption and good binding between the grains.
- If after soaking for about 20 minutes you still find excess water, then drain the excess water before baking it.
- Keep an eye on it when baking, with various changes that occur sometimes you need less or longer in the oven. So, it’s important to keep an eye on your grill.

Ingredients
- ½ cup ground flaxseed (or flaxseed meal)
- ¼ cup hemp hearts (you can substitute sesame seeds)
- 4 tbsp chia seeds (¼ cup)
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup quick oats
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 ¼ cups filtered water
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F, and prepare two large baking sheets and baking paper or silicone, and don't use wax paper because it can cause the crackers to stick.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients such as oats, seeds and spices, and stir evenly.
- Pour 1 1⁄4 cups water over the mixture until everything is coated. Let the mixture absorb water for 10 minutes and remember all the ingredients well.
- When all the seeds have absorbed the water, put the seed mixture in a baking dish, we spread it in two baking sheets so that the mixture of ingredients for the crackers becomes thin and this will make them crunchy.
- Spread the mixture as thinly as possible and make sure there are no holes in the crackers, the thinner the mixture is on the baking sheet, the crispier it will be.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, after 25 minutes, flip the pan to make sure everything is baked evenly. This is also a good time to cut the crackers if you want to cut them into square shapes. You can use a pizza cutter to make your task easier.
- When they are brown, remove from the oven, and make sure the crackers are dry to the touch. Allow to cool completely in the tin before separating into crackers one by one.
