Servings: 43 crackers
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Flaxseed Meal
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tbsp Za’atar seasoning
- 1 tbsp organic black sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp raw sunflower seeds
- 2 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/3 cup raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil
- 1 cup water
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven 350F.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the flax meal, nutritional yeast and spices and mix well.
- Add all of the nuts and seeds to a food processor and pulse till you have a powdery crumble.
- Now add in the flax meal, nutritional yeast and spices. Pulse till everything is mixed together.
- Add in the sun dried tomatoes and water, then blend until a dough-like ball forms. If the dough appears dry, add an additional tablespoon of water to achieve the consistency.
- Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl, then use your hands to finish mixing everything together.
- Take 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Repeat until you’ve formed little balls with all of the dough.
- Place a dough ball between parchment paper. Using the bottom of a pint glass, evenly press it down to create a round disc approximately over 2 inches in diameter. Repeat for all of the balls.
- Arrange the round crackers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper for baking.
- Use a fork to gently pole a couple of rows of holes into the top of each cracker. Sprinkle it with salt.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops of the crackers and the edges are golden brown.
- Transfer crackers to a baking rack and let them cool completely.
