quick baked (or raw) sesame flax crackers

i am a sucker for a good healthy cracker...that crunch! these are loaded with beneficial fats, protein, and tons of fiber! easily my favorite cracker to make & eat.

ingredients:

1/2 c whole flaxseeds

1/4 c psyllium husk

1/2 c sesame seeds

2 T coconut aminos 

1/4 c apple cider vinegar

1/2 t garlic powder

1/2 t pepper

3/4 c water

3 T collagen protein (optional. this addition keeps them wonderfully pliable + packs some more gut-healing protein)

+option to add whatever seasoning you'd like. a few of my favorites: curry powder, Rosemary, thyme, Italian spices. 

-combine all ingredients in a large bowl. let sit for an hour to thicken. once liquid is absorbed, stir and see if you need to add a bit more to make it pliable. 

-preheat oven to 350F & line a baking sheet with parchment paper. evenly spread mixture onto paper 1/8-1/4" thick. using a metal spatula, score dough into squares. bake for 30-35 minutes until golden, then turn off oven and let crackers dry in the warmth. remove from oven & brake into pieces. store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. (alternatively you can dehydrate theses at 115F until crispy-this is my favorite way to go to keep all the good nutrients in-tact!)

-perfect for hummus dipping, soup pairing, on-the-go snacking, or salsa dunking! also, if you dehydrate until just slightly chewy still, and cut into larger pieces, they make a great raw sandwich bread!
