3-INGREDIENT SEEDED
These are thin, crispy, nutrient-packed crackers made using only:
- seeds
- a binder (like egg or flour alternative)
- seasoning/salt
They’re:
- crunchy
- high-fiber
- gluten-free (depending on version)
- perfect for tea, dips, or snacking
🧾 INGREDIENTS (ONLY 3 MAIN)
🌱 Base Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed seeds (you can combine):
- sunflower seeds
- pumpkin seeds
- sesame seeds
- flax seeds
- chia seeds
🥚 Binder (choose ONE)
- 1 egg (best texture)
OR - 2–3 tbsp water + 1 tbsp olive oil (vegan option)
🧂 Seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- (optional but common: black pepper or chili flakes—still counted as seasoning)
👨🍳 STEP-BY-STEP METHOD
🌾 STEP 1: PREPARE THE SEED MIX
- In a bowl, add all seeds together.
- Mix well so they are evenly distributed.
- If using flax or chia seeds, let them sit for 5 minutes with a few drops of water.
- This helps form a natural gel that binds everything.
👉 Tip:
The more variety of seeds, the better the crunch and flavor.
🥚 STEP 2: ADD BINDER
If using egg:
- Crack 1 egg into the seed mix.
- Add salt and optional spices.
- Mix until everything becomes sticky and coated.
If using vegan binder:
- Add olive oil + water slowly.
- Stir until mixture becomes thick and slightly sticky.
👉 Texture goal:
- Not runny
- Not dry
- Should hold together when pressed
🧁 STEP 3: SHAPE THE MIX
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Pour mixture onto tray.
- Spread it thin using a spoon or spatula.
👉 Important:
- Thin = crispy crackers
- Thick = chewy seed bar
- Press firmly so it becomes compact and even.
🔥 STEP 4: BAKE
- Preheat oven: 170°C (340°F)
- Bake for 20–30 minutes
Mid-bake step:
- After 10–15 minutes, remove tray and lightly score (cut lines) using a knife.
- This helps break into crackers later
🧑🍳 STEP 5: FINAL CRISPING
- Continue baking until edges turn golden brown.
- Texture should feel firm and dry.
👉 If not crispy:
- Bake extra 5–10 minutes
❄️ STEP 6: COOLING (IMPORTANT)
- Remove from oven
- Let cool completely for 30–40 minutes
👉 They will become even crispier after cooling.
🍽️ STEP 7: SERVE
Break into pieces along scored lines.
Serve with:
- hummus
- yogurt dip
- cream cheese
- tea or coffee
- soup
🧠 TEXTURE PROFILE
