Ditch the store-bought crackers packed with messy ingredients and make these natural, nutritious and homemade tear apart Sesame Seed Crackers that will keep your kids full.

homemade sesame seed crackers dipped in hummus

Crackers must be one of my favorite snack foods. And not only because they are crunchy and delicious but they are just so easy to grab when you're hungry. I love to dip them in hummus and enjoy the combination of textures and flavors.

But I've never been able to find store-bought ones that didn't have a ton of unnecessary ingredients. Many of them have added sugar or preservatives that I am not really a fan of.

So I thought I'd just make my own.

Homemade tear apart sesame seed crackers ingredients

Ingredients

Sesame seeds. Wholegrain sesame seeds are always a great choice but regular ones will also do. We used white ones (but you can use any color).

Sunflower seeds. Use them whole as they are.

Flaxseed. As with sunflower seeds, use them whole.

Psyllium. Use psyllium powder which will help make the batter compact. If you have husks you can just process it into a powder.

Coconut oil. The best oil to melt in the water and pour over the crackers to make the batter compact.

Spices. Choose any you like and to your preference. They can really make a change to the overall taste of the crackers.

Nutritional Benefits

Homemade tear apart sesame seed crackers ingredients wet ingredients

Sesame seeds. A very good source of copper and manganese.

Sunflower seeds. An excellent source of healthy fats as well as the vitamin E, magnesium and selenium.

Flaxseed. Great source of omega-3 fatty acids (and healthy fats!). Also contain good amounts of fiber and manganese.

Coconut oil. Adds calories and fat.

How To Make Homemade Sesame Seed Crackers

Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 150°C / 300°F.

Prepare the mixture. Boil the water. Meanwhile, thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients and spices.

Once the water is boiling, add the coconut oil and pour over the dry ingredient mixture and mix. Let it sit for about an hour.

Bake. After 1 hour, line a baking tray (size in recipe notes) with parchment paper and line the mixture on the tray as thin as you can. You can use a rolling pin to roll it evenly. Using a knife or pizza cutter, make lines on the mixture for the crackers or if you are like us, leave the mixture as is and once it is done you will be able to tear apart the crackers. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes.

Serve with homemade sweet paprika hummus or pack it in a lunch box:).

Possible Variations

Mix up the seeds. Instead of the smaller seeds like sesame seeds you can choose to add chia seeds for example. Or throw in some pumpkin seeds. Or whatever else you prefer!

Spice them up. If you prefer more spicy food, you can always add some ground chilli or cayenne pepper to the mixture.
