Ditch store-bought crackers for these homemade, super-crunchy flax seed crackers!
Yes, you can create a gluten-free cracker right at home. This easy vegan-friendly recipe uses five different seeds to pack in all the best nutrition. Serve this hunger-busting snack with any of your favorite Paleo dips, like spicy sweet potato hummus or creamy eggplant spinach dip.
Packing In The Crunch
We’ll start by mixing together our favorite super seeds with a bit of water and salt. The seeds absorb water as they expand in the batter, acting as the binder that holds everything together – no eggs necessary.

To make these flax seed crackers extra crunchy, we bake them low and slow for two hours. This helps dehydrate the seeds and infuses the crackers with nutty, earthy flavors.
Spice It Up
You can customize these crackers any way you like. Try adding dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic. For a Paleo version of cheese crackers, add a bit of nutritional yeast to mimic the flavor.
Helpful Tips To Get Started:
- Position your oven racks in the center. This will allow the heat to circulate evenly around the crackers.
- Spread it thin. The thinner you spread your batter, the crispier your crackers will be.
- Be patient. The crackers may look ready halfway through, but give them the full 2 hours to completely firm up.
