Ingredients

• 2.5 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2.5 tablespoons Flax seeds
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 4 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
• 4 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Rolled oats (gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup Oat flour (gluten-free)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.

Step 3

Add water to the seed mixture and stir well. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes until the seeds absorb the water and become gelatinous.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, oat flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 5

Combine the dry ingredients with the soaked seed mixture, mixing thoroughly until you have a dough-like consistency.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly, aiming for a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).

Step 7

Score the dough with a knife to create desired cracker shapes, but don't cut all the way through.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Then, carefully flip the entire cracker sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crackers are thoroughly dry and crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, break the scored crackers apart.

Step 10

Store the heart-healthy seed crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or with your favorite dips and spreads!
