    Crackers are one of my favorite snacks, and these healthy crackers have quickly become a staple in my household. I love how easy they are to make, and with only 2 base ingredients, they can be varied based on how you want to serve them.

    These are also perfect to serve if you're catering for people with various dietary requirements. They are vegetarian, vegan, keto, low carb, dairy free, gluten free, soy free, and nut free. They also happen to be rich in protein, and easy to make.

    Ingredients

    This recipe only requires 4 ingredients, or 2 if you wish to omit the seasoning.

    All you need is ground flaxseed, water, and optionally salt and rosemary or any other seasoning.

    You can buy ground flaxseed in most major supermarkets, or make it yourself by processing flaxseed in a spice grinder or coffee grinder.

    Instructions

    Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and stir until they are incorporated completely.

    Now you will want to prepare your sheet pan or baking tray. I use a baking tray that's as big as my oven, which in my case is 13 x 13 inches, or 33 x 33 cm. If yours is slightly smaller or larger, this will also work fine.

    If you only have a sheet pan that's 9 x 13 inches, you can adjust the recipe and use ⅔ of the ingredients.

    Step by step instructions showing how to make flaxseed crackers.

    Place the cracker dough on a parchment paper, and place another parchment paper on top. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle or square that's the same size as your baking tray.

    Remove the top layer of parchment paper, and place the flat cracker dough into your baking tray. Use a sharp knife to trace lines into the dough to mark up where you want to cut the crackers. I cut mine into squares, but you can do any size, shapes and patterns you want.

    You will then place the crackers into the oven, and bake them for about 20 minutes, or until the dough is completely dry. Note that the crackers will be cooked as a whole sheet, and they will only be separated by the lines you traced with your knife previously.

    Remove them from the oven, then retrace the lines you made earlier with your knife. This should help the crackers break apart.

    Leave them to rest on the parchment paper for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool down completely before serving or transferring them to a storage container.

    Top tips

    Here is my best advice to help you succeed with this recipe:

    • Make sure to keep an even thickness when you roll out the crackers. This will ensure that every part of the dough cooks in the same amount of time.
    • The thickness of the crackers and the temperature in your oven could make the crackers cook faster or slower. Keep an eye on them, so they don't burn, and only take them out when they seem to have dried out completely.

    Serving suggestions

    Not sure what to have with flaxseed crackers? Here are some amazing ideas for you to try!

    • Add the crackers to your cheeseboard, grazing plate or charcuterie, or serve them with Baked Camembert with Honey.
    • Use them in place of bread, with your favorite toast toppings such as cream cheese, jam, roasted red pepper hummus or peanut butter.
    • Crackers are perfect as a quick and healthy snack or as an addition to your lunchbox.
    • Serve them with your favorite salad. I highly recommend my olive salad or artichoke chicken salad.

    Variations

    Here are some fun flavor variations of the recipe that you should definitely try:

    Other herbs: If rosemary isn't your thing, you can make these crackers with any other herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives or thyme.

    Garlic parmesan: Add a little shredded parmesan and garlic powder. This brings a lot of flavor to the crackers, and is perfect if you're enjoying them as a savory snack.

    With seeds: Add some small seeds such as whole flaxseeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds or pumpkin seeds to the crackers. This will add a little extra bite to their texture!

    Leftovers

    The crackers can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Make sure to use a container suitable for storing cookies or crackers to ensure that they stay crispy and delicious.

    I do not recommend freezing flaxseed crackers, as they tend to become soft when you thaw them.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are the healthiest crackers to eat?

    Healthy crackers are packed with nutritious ingredients like seeds and nuts, instead of sugar and white flour.

    Can you make crackers without a dehydrator?

    Absolutely. You can dry flaxseed crackers in a regular oven.
