Instead of buying store brought highly processed gluten free crackers with who knows what ingredients in them. You can make tasty crackers at home that are so quick and easy!
Preheat the oven to 180C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place the seeds or nuts, spices and salt into a food processor or thermomix and blitz until broken down into a powder/ meal.
Add all other ingredients and blitz again. If you are egg free start with 2 Tbsp water and blitz. If needed gradually add more 1/2-1 Tbsp at a time until a nice dough forms.
The mixture will be quite clumpy and a little sticky, don’t worry just place it all onto the baking paper. Place another sheet of baking paper on top and get a rolling pin to roll it out to roughly 1cm thickness.
Once you’re happy with the thickness, you can choose to cut it into squares now, or simply break apart with your hands once it has cooked (I do it this way for a more rustic approach).
Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Once cool, re-cut along where you previously cut or simply break apart into nice pieces if you prefer.
Store at room temperature in a glass jar or store excess in the freezer.
Suggested Serving: with sliced cheese, nut butter, pesto, cottage cheese, quark, pate, avocado and so on.

I made them using the sunflower seeds and egg recipe variation – I’m quite impressed. They are a bit fragile…. But I’m sure I’ll be able to spoon on my homemade avocado dip and enjoy…..
1 cm or 1 mm thick? 1 cm is pretty chunky and rustic for crackers! Having said that, I will be making these and trying out the recipe. I love home made crackers!
I wondered about this too. 1cm (10mm) sounds more like biscuits than crackers.
But I’m going to give this a go this weekend as I need to restock the pantry
I made these with the recipe as is with the addition of chia seeds, sesame seeds, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder and they are just yumbo. They are nice and crunchy and full of flavour. Will make again for sure!
YUM!! So easy to make and so tasty! Having them tonight with your Raw Vegan Cashew Pesto! Thank you 🙂
Really great recipe. Very simple and quick. I used a mix of almonds and sunflower seed and added more salt. Next time i’ll add chilli flakes. Rolled out to a couple of mm which held together well. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
No problem at all Dallas, the chilli addition sounds divine!
