Great as a crunchy snack, for packing on-the-go, dipping in hummus or this cashew veggie spread. Also, an easy way to get your daily dose of flax seed.
It’s best to purchase flax seeds whole and then grind them up when you’re ready to use them. Once ground up, flax goes bad quickly. Typically I will throw a couple of cups in a high speed blender at the beginning of the week and blend until a flax meal is formed. A coffee grinder also does a great job of grinding flax seed, though you’ll have to do smaller batches.
Whatever I’m not using right away I store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for use throughout the week. If storing whole flax seeds for more than a couple of weeks, I recommend keeping them in the freezer.
While this recipe is fairly basic, the flavor options are endless. Trying including…
- sesame seeds
- garlic and onion powder
- dried basil, oregano and parsley
- black pepper and cayenne powder
- your favorite spices and herbs
These crackers store well in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Oh my goodness… this recipe has saved my life! On day 7 of a detox where I can only eat whole foods, I’ve been dying for something snacky. And here it is!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I found my dough was quite sticky so I used a silicone spatula to spread it thinly over two baking trays . Super crunchy crackers for me!!!
