5 Ingredient Seed Crackers Recipe (Gluten-Free)

Jan 22, 2021 · 8 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
You would not believe that this 5 ingredient seed crackers recipe is completely gluten free!  They are just so incredible; crispy, nutritious, delicious and perfect for a cheese plate or on their own.

I had some seed crackers from Trader Joes (Grain Crispbread) and was hooked on the idea of making them myself at home.  I just wasn’t quite sure if they’d work.  I tested the recipe a few different ways, and got it just right!!
Ingredients used to make 5 ingredient seed crackers

What ingredients do I need to make seed crackers?

  • Ground flaxseed – ground flaxseed mixed with water creates a gelatinous/binder for the other wonderful seeds in this recipe. Often times, in vegan recipes you’ll see a ‘flax egg’ created where the flaxseed/water combination is used in place of an egg. Ground flaxseed can be found in the baking aisle with other alternative flours (like almond flour/etc.)
  • Pumpkin seeds – also known as pepitas. You could use regular unsalted or lightly salted pepitas for this.
  • Sunflower seeds – sunflower seeds are so delicious – they add a beautiful almost nutty flavor to these seed crackers. You could use unsalted or lightly salted sunflower seeds for this recipe.
  • Sesame seeds – you could use white or black sesame seeds.
  • Garlic salt – this is the flavoring in these crackers. You could opt to use regular salt, but I like them best with garlic salt.

Ingredients soaking in water before baking

The first thing you do when starting to make these 5 ingredient seed crackers (gluten free) is combine all of the ingredients and let them sit for 5-10 minutes.  This helps the mixture thicken.

When you’re making the cracker dough, it seems almost wet, too wet, but the flaxseeds turn almost gelatinous when combined with water so that is completely normal.  You’ll want to be sure you spread the mixture evenly on the pan or  some parts will bake and others won’t.

All ingredients combined and spread on a baking sheet

These crackers crisp up amazingly when baked.  If you want them really crispy, you can always bake them until they’re extra brown (they harden as they bake).

When they’re done baking, you can break them into as big or small of crackers as you’d like!

I love these seed crackers by themselves, but Nick says that, with hummus, they are next level delicious and I couldn’t agree more.

I also made them again this weekend and was making a fun pimento cheese recipe (so good and it’s a funny story because Nick bought an entire case of pimento peppers from Amazon, lol).  I had Frankie with me and she kept just wanting to eat the crackers, lol.

If you don’t eat all of your crackers in one sitting, they store in an airtight bag for a week or two. Next time you’re looking for a healthy homemade gluten free nut free snack, I’d highly recommend these seed crackers!

    I made these and they turned out great but I’m not a fan of sesame. Is there a different seed that could replace the sesame seeds? I actually doubled the recipe so maybe I should not have doubled the sesame seeds instead adding more pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Being on keto they are so perfect for me!!

    Hi! What would you use if you don’t have parchment paper? Oiled pan? Thanks!

      Oiled pan is a great idea – or a silicone baking mat if you have one of those (you just don’t want it to stick)

    I haven’t tried these yet, but I have a comment about the printing of your recipes. I like the color band at the top of the recipe, but it seems to mess up the printing. I would rather have a recipe on 1 page, but the wide band screws it upmost of the time and goes to a second page, even for 1 line. If you could decrease the size, I think the printed recipe would fit on 1 page…just a thought.

      Thanks so much for the feedback Nancy. Unfortunately there’s nothing I can do about the printing feature (that’s how it comes programmed with the recipe card). I’ll talk to a programmer to see if there’s a way I can edit it one day. Thank you so much for sharing.
