Easy High Fibre Crackers with Shelled Hemp & Flaxseed: A Crunchy, Nutritious Snack
If you’re someone who loves a good crunch, but wants to make healthier choices, flaxseed crackers are about to become your new go-to snack. Not only are these crackers incredibly easy to make, but they are also packed with high-fibre ingredients that are great for your gut. Once you try this simple recipe, you’ll wonder why you ever settled for store-bought crackers.
Homemade Versus Store-Bought
Most store-bought crackers are loaded with preservatives, excess salt, and refined flours that offer little nutritional value. But when you make your own, you have complete control over what goes into them. These homemade flaxseed crackers are made with wholesome ingredients like Linwoods Milled Flaxseed and Shelled Hemp, both of which are loaded with fibre, healthy fats, and protein. They are not only better for your body, but they also taste incredible.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Linwoods Milled Flaxseed . This forms the base of your cracker dough, providing a nutty flavour and a substantial amount of fibre.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder: Adds a savoury depth to the crackers.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder: For that extra punch of flavour.
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning: A blend of herbs that gives these crackers a delightful Mediterranean twist.
- 4 tablespoons Linwoods Shelled Hemp: Boosts the fibre content even more while adding a pleasant texture.
- Salt to taste: Enhances the overall flavour. Feel free to adjust based on your preference.
- ½ cup vegetable stock: Brings everything together and adds a subtle richness.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Start by setting your oven to 190ºC (374ºF). This is the perfect temperature to get your crackers nice and crispy without burning them.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the milled flaxseed, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and hemp seeds. Add salt to taste. This blend of spices and seeds is what makes these crackers so irresistible.
- Add the vegetable stock: Pour in the vegetable stock and mix everything together. You’ll want to stir for about a minute until the mixture forms a dough.
- Roll out the dough: Transfer the dough onto a piece of baking paper. Place another piece of baking paper on top and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to about 3mm thick. This step ensures your crackers will bake evenly.
- Slice and bake: Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into small cracker-sized pieces. Carefully transfer them to a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, but keep an eye on them—thinner crackers may cook faster.
- Cool and enjoy: Once the crackers start to feel firm, remove them from the oven and let them cool. Peel off the parchment paper and your homemade crackers are ready to be devoured.
Serve with Your Favourite Dip
These crackers pair perfectly with a variety of dips—hummus, guacamole, or even a simple olive tapenade. Their crunchy texture and savoury flavour make them a versatile snack that you can enjoy any time of day.
