    🥣 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.

    💬 Commonly Asked Questions

    Yes, these tasty seeds are naturally Keto-friendly and add a nice crunch to Keto baked goods, smoothies, protein shakes, and soups.

    📖 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.

      I made these and have been enjoying them. When spreading or rolling out the dough, make sure to spread out the middle. I left the middle a little thicker and it did not crisp. I also took a pizza cutter and divided the pan into six sections before baking.

      Great recipe! How many servings does it make and what is the nutritional breakdown for one serving?

        Thanks! Each serving is one sixth of the recipe, and the nutritional info is at the bottom of the recipe card. (In case you don't know about how you calculate net carbs, you subtract the fiber from the total carb amount to get the 2g net carbs.)

      These crackers are fantastic. I have also made them subbing coconut oil for the butter, which gives a slightly different flavour. Both are great. Pretty hard to just eat one serving though!

      Fantastic recipe - make it every week now. Thank you.
      I do have a lot of trouble with your website though, as all the ads make my browser crash every time. Such a shame. Will have to print out the recipe so I don't have to use the website anymore.

        So glad you like the crackers. I'm sorry to hear that your browser keeps crashing. Ads are, unfortunately, the only way to be reimbursed for the free recipes that food bloggers provide. Without them, I couldn't afford to be doing what I am doing.

      Loved this recipe! I didn't have the everything bagel spice so I just added some onion powder, garlic powder and paprika instead. It came out delicious. Will definitely make again!
