Keto Seed Crackers Recipe

You won't believe how crispy these keto seed crackers are! They are packed with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and chia seeds. This cracker recipe is amazing for snacking or as part of a sharing platter or a cheese board. Only 1g net carbs per cracker!

Sticking to a keto diet is all about preparation. And I have to tell you, these low carb seed crackers are my new secret passion.

In the last few days, I've had them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

They are gluten-free, vegan, super easy to make and stay extra crispy for weeks.

Many keto cracker recipes contain almond flour but these crackers are completely nut free.

Ingredients

Check out the superfood ingredients and their benefits:

• Pumpkin seeds - Also known as pepita seeds, pumpkin seeds are high in antioxidants such as cartenoids and vitamin E. Antioxidants help reduce inflammation. They are also one of the best sources of magnesium (source).
• Sunflower seeds - Apart from anti-inflammatory benefits, sunflower seeds are rich in healthy fats that are linked to good heart health. They also contain vitamins and minerals that support the immune system (source).
• Sesame seeds - High in fibre, which is vital for digestive health. Sesame seeds may also help lower cholesterol and reduce heart disease risk (source).
• Chia seeds - AKA one of the healthiest foods on the planet! These tiny seeds are loaded with fibre, protein and omega-3 fatty acids (source).
• Psyllium husk - Psyllium husks are the husks from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. They are a prebiotic fiber, which is essential for a healthy gut.

Plus, you'll need sea salt and water.

Now to the best part. Seed crackers are incredibly easy to make!

Step 1: Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and let rest for 20 minutes so the mixture can thicken.

Step 2: Once the chia seeds and the psyllium have absorbed the liquid, the mixture takes on a gooey, gel-like consistency. Transfer your cracker "dough" onto parchment paper...

Step 3: ... and put another sheet of parchment on top. Roll out using a rolling pin or flatten with our hands into a thin layer. My mix covered a 30 x 40 cm baking sheet and I had a few offcuts which I baked on a second tray.

Step 4: Remove the top parchment and pre-cut into squares using a pizza cutter or a knife. Don't miss this step!

Step 5: Bake for about 1 hour until all water has evaporated and the keto crackers are lightly browned and crisp.

Top tip

The oven time will depend on how thick or thin you have rolled out the dough. If it's been rolled out thicker, you may need to add 10-15 minutes. If it's very thin, 1 hour may be too long. Just keep an eye on them!

Serve with

1. Enjoy the crackers with a dip such as guacamole, taramasalata or baba ganoush.

2. They could be part of a large mezze sharing platter or cheese board when you're having a crowd over.

3. Or treat them like a mini sandwich. Think avocado spread, butter, ham and cheese, cream cheese and smoked salmon or peanut butter and sugar free strawberry jam!

4. Seed crackers even work as part of a simple meal. We recently ate them with my keto egg salad and this keto chicken salad.

Variations

Here are ideas how you can customise the recipe:

Change the quantities of the seeds around or use whole flaxseed or poppy seeds, for example.

Gently toast the seeds before you mix the "dough" to elevate the taste. This can be done in a dry pan or in the oven.

Use ground flax in place of the chia seeds or the psyllium husk powder. My guess is that you will need twice as much flax as psyllium.

Optional flavor add-ins:

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder and / or 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoon herbs such as thyme, oregano or rosemary
• 2 teaspoon zataar or everything bagel seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon nigella seeds or black sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoon grated parmesan or nutritional yeast flakes for a cheesy vegan cracker
• 2 chopped nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Storage

Once your super seed crackers are cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 weeks.
