Made with nutrient-dense buckwheat flour, omega-3-rich flaxseed, chia seeds, and a medley of aromatic herbs like garlic powder and Herbs de Provence, these crackers deliver both flavor and wholesome benefits in every bite. The dough, enriched with olive oil for a touch of Mediterranean goodness, is rolled out thin and baked to golden perfection for a satisfying crunch. Easy to make and naturally gluten-free and vegan, these crackers are a must-try for anyone seeking a healthier snacking option. Plus, they store well, staying crisp and fresh for up to a week, making them ideal for meal prepping or hosting.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.
In a medium bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, sesame seeds, chia seeds, salt, garlic powder, herbs de Provence, and baking powder.
Stir the flaxseed mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients using a spoon or your hands until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but hold together. If it's too dry, add a bit more water, a teaspoon at a time.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Remove the top sheet of parchment and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1-inch squares or your preferred size.
Transfer the bottom sheet of parchment with the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crackers are crisp.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
