Homemade Sunflower Sesame Seed Crackers (GF)

Ditch the store-bought crackers packed with messy ingredients and make these natural, nutritious and homemade gluten-free sunflower sesame seed crackers. 

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 or a tuna dip 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 crackers. And ones that are low carb and a healthy snack. 

Why we love these sesame sunflower seed crackers? 

• low-carb crackers (keto diet friendly)
• gluten-free seed crackers 
• one of the easiest crackers to make  
• perfect crunchy snack 
• great for cheese boards 

Ingredients

• Sesame seeds - We use white sesame seeds but you can use any you like. A very good source of copper and manganese. 
• Sunflower seeds -  Use them whole as they are. An excellent source of healthy fats as well as the vitamin E, magnesium and selenium. 
• Whole Flax seeds - As with sunflower seeds, use them whole. Great source of omega-3 fatty acids (and healthy fats!). Also contain good amounts of fiber and manganese
• Psyllium Husk Powder -  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 seed mixture compact. 
• Spices - Choose any you like and to your preference. They can really make a change to the overall taste of the crackers. 

How To Make Homemade Sesame Seed Crackers

1. Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 150°C / 300°F.
2. Prepare the seed mixture. Take a large bowl and put the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, whole flax seeds and psyllium husk powder in the bowl and mix with a rubber spatula. Add the spices and sea salt here also. 
3. Boil the water. Boil the water and once the water is boiling, add the coconut oil. 
4. Pour the coconut oil water mixture over the seed mixture. 
6. Wait. Let it sit for about an hour until your dough forms. 
7. Spread the cracker mixture. After 1 hour, line a baking tray (size in recipe notes) with parchment paper and line the cracker mixture on the baking tray in a thin layer. You can use a rolling pin to roll it evenly. Using a knife or pizza cutter, make lines to portion out individual crackers, or leave the mixture as is and once it is done you will be able to tear apart the crackers. 
8. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes until they are golden brown. (Baking time may vary depending on how thin the layer of cracker mixture is).
9. Serve these crispy crackers with your favorite dip, homemade sweet paprika hummus, maybe some almond butter or pack it in a lunch box:).
