Deliciously easy Almond and Chia Seed Crackers: thin, crisp, savory, and gluten-free crackers packed with healthy seeds and nuts. Perfect for dips and cheeses, ready in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup flax seeds
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, chia seeds, flax seeds, and sea salt.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in olive oil and water until a dough forms. The mixture may seem wet at first, but the chia seeds will absorb moisture as it rests.
- Roll out the dough: Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll to about 1/8-inch thickness for crispy crackers.
- Score and prepare for baking: Remove the top parchment sheet. Transfer dough on the bottom sheet to the baking tray. Score into desired cracker shapes and prick each piece with a fork for extra crispness.
- Bake: Bake 12–15 minutes, watching closely after 12 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
- Cool completely: Let crackers cool on the baking sheet. Once fully cooled, break apart along scored lines and enjoy.
Notes
- Rolling: Rolling the dough thinly (1/8-inch) between two sheets of parchment paper is the easiest way to prevent sticking and guarantee crispness.
- Pricking: Prick the dough generously with a fork. This allows steam to escape, which is essential for a truly brittle, crisp cracker.
- Cooling: Crackers must cool completely to achieve maximum crispness. They will feel slightly soft coming out of the oven but will harden as they cool.
- Flavor Boost: Add 1 teaspoon of dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano) or a pinch of garlic powder to the dry mix for an extra savory flavor.
- Storage: Store fully cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
