Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup LSA (linseed, sunflower seed and almond meal) 
  • 1/3 cup sunflower seed and pepita mix 
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds 
  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds 
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder 
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds 
  • 1 tsp salt 
  • ½ tsp garlic powder 
  • ½ tsp onion powder 
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or olive oil 
  • 1 cup boiling water 
(Optional addition: your choice of herbs and spices such as dried rosemary, thyme or chilli) 

Method:

  1. Heat oven to 150°C and mix dry ingredients together. 
  2. Add melted coconut oil or olive oil and stir through until combined. 
  3. Gently and carefully stir through boiling water until it forms a dough-like consistency. 
  4. Place the ball of dough in between two sheets of baking paper on a chopping board and use a rolling pin to flatten. Flatten the dough evenly. 
  5. Place on a tray and bake for up to 40 minutes. Seeds are sensitive to heat so check after 30 minutes and adjust the time accordingly. When cooked through, the crackers should have a nice golden-brown colour and will have a slightly crisp texture.
  6. Serve with loaded guac, on a cheese board or dip into your favourite soup.
