Tips to make Delicious Chia & Flax Seed Crackers

• Customize Your Seeds: Feel free to swap in your favorite nuts or seeds! Sunflower and pumpkin seeds are just suggestions.
• Timing is Key: Letting the mixture sit is crucial for that perfect texture—don’t rush it!

• Batch Bake: Make a big batch and enjoy them over a few weeks—who doesn’t love meal prep?

• Herb-Infused: Integrate Italian herbs for a savory, pizza-flavored cracker!

FAQs

Can I use ground flax seeds instead of whole seeds?
Yes, but this might change the texture slightly. Whole seeds create a nice crunch!

You can make them up to a week in advance! Just store them in an airtight container.

Can I freeze these crackers?
Absolutely, freeze them in a single layer in a zip-top bag. They’ll keep for up to three months!
