Dehydrated Flax Crackers

Gluten, Grain, Dairy, Nut, Egg and Refined Sugar Free
Vegetarian, Vegan, Paleo, Gaps & Keto** Friendly

If you are trying to eat healthier and just can’t seem to let go of crackers, try making these dehydrated flaxseed crackers – they are perfect for when you have a craving for something crunchy – as well as being good for you too!!

The crackers go great with just about anything – dips, avocado, cheese (if you can eat it!), tomato, meats or added to a salad for a bit of crunch. They are great to add to your lunchboxes too and to eat on their own.

Flaxseeds (otherwise known as linseed) can go rancid quite quickly, so make sure you store them in the freezer. There’s no need to purchase flax meal as well as flaxseeds, just make your own meal by milling them up in a blender (or coffee grinder if you only need a small amount).

I make our crackers with a dehydrator, but you can also cook them in the oven.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup flaxseed (150g)
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (40g)
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos/tamari
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 3/4 cup filtered water (190ml)
  
  
  

METHOD:

1. Mix all wet ingredients in a bowl and stir together.
2. Add flaxseed, flaxseed meal, onion and garlic powder to the bowl. Allow to sit for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. The mixture will thicken into a paste consistency (like shown above).
4. Spread the mixture onto the dehydrator sheet (the non-stick sheet without the holes) to about 2-3 mm in thickness.*
5. Score the mixture to the size of the crackers you are after with the edge of the spatula.
6. Dehydrate for 14-18 hours at 50 degrees, flipping over after 6 hours.
7. Allow to totally cool, before breaking the crackers apart and storing in an airtight container out of the fridge.
   
   
   

NOTES:
* This mixture makes up the right amount needed for 1 tray for a biochef dehydrator, simply double or triple the recipe if you are wanting to make more.
** Make these crackers keto friendly by substituting the honey with monkfruit.
