Greetings 👋

Today, I've got a great Flaxseed Cracker recipe to share with you.

It's one of those rare unicorn recipes that you can eat on just about any diet.

It's true.

This recipe for low carb crackers is: Keto, Paleo, Weight Watchers, Nut-free, Vegetarian, Vegan, THM-S, Gluten-free and Grain-free. It is even compliant with Whole30, the most restrictive diet on Earth

Huzzah!

🥣 Ingredients

• Ground Flaxseed Meal- Flax meal is very high in omegas and fatty acids. They have been shown to decrease heart disease risk in animal studies by reducing inflammation in the arteries
• Sunflower Seeds- Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of antioxidants like copper, magnesium, selenium, iron and zinc.
• Pepita Seeds (Pumpkin Seeds)- These seeds contain vitamin K, vitamin E, and all the B vitamins as well.
• Chia Seeds- These tiny black or white seeds are high in fiber, protein, are a great source of omega 3s.
• Sesame Seeds- These seeds are high in calcium and potassium, which promote bone health.
• Psyllium Husk Powder- High fiber Psyllium Husk Powder has prebiotic effects, which means it feeds bacteria and helps it grow. This is excellent for your gut biome.
• Butter or Ghee- Ghee contains a higher concentration of fat than butter, but for people who have allergies or sensitivities to these dairy components, ghee is the better choice. And if you are on Keto, then it's a good way to sneak a little more fat into your diet.
• Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel Seasoning- This seasoning contains sesame seeds, sea salt, minced garlic, minced onion, black sesame seeds and poppy seeds. It adds savory flavors to the Flaxseed Crackers.

📖 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and cover a large 11 X 17-inch baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.  Lower the oven rack to the lowest setting.
2. Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl.  Mix together with a whisk to get any clumps in the flaxseed meal out.
3. Add boiling water and melted butter. Mix together with a spatula until a dough forms.  Test for saltiness and add more salt if desired.
4. Use spatula to spread out the dough thinly on the parchment-covered baking sheet.  It should cover the baking sheet completely from edge to edge and be about ¼ inch thick.
5. Bake on lower rack for 1 hour, checking occasionally to make sure it’s not burning.  Turn the baking sheet around halfway through so that it cooks evenly.  Pay attention as seeds are heat sensitive.
6. Turn off the oven and let the crackers dry in the oven for another hour.
7. Break into pieces.

The mixture of the chia seeds, psyllium husk powder, and hot water is where the magic happens.

Combine them, and the chia seeds and psyllium powder expand and bind the crackers together. Because of its high soluble fiber content, chia seeds can absorb up to 10–12 times their weight in water! And because chia seeds expand in your stomach, they make you feel full and satisfied when you eat even small amounts.

So give these Flaxseed Crackers a try.

They are a healthy appetizer or snack with only 2g net carbs per serving. And they are perfect for low carb dips like Queso Cheese Sauce, or Curried Hummus. You can top them with cheese, meat, vegetables, anything that can reasonably be eaten on a cracker.

Ok, now it's time for me and my unicorn to prance off into the sunset.

Ok, chow for now!
