If you’re looking for a simple, wholesome snack that’s rich in plant-based omega-3s, these seed crackers are about to become a staple in your kitchen. They\u2019re made with just three ingredients, packed with nutrients, and satisfyingly crispy – perfect for mindful snacking or pairing with your favourite dip.<\/span><\/p>\n As someone who’s been vegan for over a decade, I\u2019m always conscious of getting essential nutrients through food, and omega-3 fatty acids are one of them. Since I don\u2019t eat fish, I rely on flaxseeds, chia seeds, and hemp seeds to provide me with ALA, the plant-based form of omega-3.<\/span><\/p>\n These crackers are a celebration of those three seeds. They’re super easy to make, customisable, and store well – ideal for batch prepping.<\/span><\/p>\n Ingredients<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n (Makes one tray of crackers)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n – 1 cup total of ground flaxseeds, chia seeds, and hemp seeds\u00a0<\/span>(I used this blend<\/a><\/b>)<\/span><\/p>\n – 1\/4 cup whole chia seeds\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n – 1\/4 cup shelled hemp seeds\u00a0<\/span>(adds texture and crunch)<\/span><\/p>\n – 3\/4 cup water<\/span><\/p>\n Optional add-ins for extra flavour:<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n – Pinch of sea salt or garlic powder<\/span><\/p>\n – Dried herbs (e.g. thyme, rosemary)<\/span><\/p>\n – Smoked paprika or cumin<\/span><\/p>\n – Nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour<\/span><\/p>\n – Sesame, pumpkin or sunflower seeds for added texture<\/span><\/p>\n Method<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n 1. Combine the ground flax, hemp, and chia seeds in a mixing bowl. Add the whole chia and shelled hemp seeds.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. Pour in 3\/4 cup of water and mix thoroughly. Let the mixture sit for 10\u201315 minutes so the chia and flax can absorb the liquid and form a gel-like consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n 3. Scoop the mixture onto a piece of baking paper. Place another piece on top and use a rolling pin to flatten it out thinly and evenly.<\/span><\/p>\n 4. Peel off the top paper and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut your desired cracker shapes\u2014squares, rectangles, triangles, you name it.<\/span><\/p>\n 5. Carefully transfer the cut shapes onto a lined baking tray and bake at 200\u00b0C for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.<\/span><\/p>\n 6. Let them cool on a rack for maximum crispiness.<\/span><\/p>\n Why These Seeds?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s why flax, chia, and hemp seeds are nutritional powerhouses, especially for anyone on a plant-based diet:<\/span><\/p>\n Flaxseeds<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n One of the richest plant sources of ALA omega-3s<\/span><\/p>\n High in soluble and insoluble fibre<\/span><\/p>\n Supports heart and digestive health<\/span><\/p>\n Chia Seeds<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Contain 5g of fibre per tablespoon<\/span><\/p>\n High in protein, calcium, and antioxidants<\/span><\/p>\n Naturally gelatinous when soaked, helping bind the crackers<\/span><\/p>\n Hemp Seeds<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Offer a balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6<\/span><\/p>\n Contain complete protein (all 9 essential amino acids)<\/span><\/p>\n Rich in magnesium, zinc, and iron<\/span><\/p>\n Storage<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Once your crackers have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
