Homemade Seed Crackers (Printable)

Crisp, wholesome seed crackers packed with flax, sunflower, sesame and oats—baked for snacking or dipping.

# What You Need:

→ Seeds

01 - 1/2 cup flax seeds
02 - 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
03 - 1/2 cup sesame seeds

→ Dry Ingredients

04 - 1/4 cup chia seeds
05 - 1 cup rolled gluten-free oats
06 - 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 1 cup water
09 - 2 tbsp olive oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine flax seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, oats, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Stir in the water and olive oil until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia and flax to absorb the liquid.
04 - Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it into an even, thin layer (about 1/8-inch thick) using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
05 - Score lightly with a knife or pizza cutter into squares or rectangles for easy breaking after baking.
06 - Bake for 35–40 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until golden and crisp.
07 - Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into crackers along the scored lines.
08 - Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • If you love that impossibly crisp crunch, these homemade crackers have it in spades—and you control exactly what goes in them.
  • They come together quickly using mostly pantry staples, which makes them the hero for last-minute snack cravings or impromptu gatherings.
02 -
  • If you spread the dough too thick, the centers stay chewy rather than crisp—you always need to check the thickness around the edges.
  • I discovered that using two sheets of parchment to roll the dough gives you a perfectly even slab and makes scoring much easier.
03 -
  • Cutting the crackers while still warm ensures neat edges that don’t crumble.
  • A pinch of flaky salt scattered before baking takes them from good to can’t-stop-eating-them territory.
