Equipment

  • small mixing bowl
  • large mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • Rolling Pin
  • parchment paper
  • baking sheet
  • sharp knife or pizza cutter
  • wire cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 6 tbsp filtered water
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp unrefined salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and filtered water. Stir well and let sit for at least 10 minutes until a thick gel forms.
  • Add the almond flour and unrefined salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine evenly.
  • Pour the prepared chia gel into the almond flour mixture. Stir with a spatula, then knead with clean hands until a smooth, firm dough ball forms.
  • Place the dough between two sheets of unbleached parchment paper and roll evenly to approximately 2 mm thick.
  • Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle with a pinch of extra salt if desired and score into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden and crisp around the edges. Begin checking at the 15-minute mark.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the pan or a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Notes

For extra flavor, add rosemary, garlic powder, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, or everything bagel seasoning. Ground or whole flax seeds can replace chia seeds using the same method. For a sweeter variation, add cinnamon and a small drizzle of maple syrup. Allow crackers to cool completely before storing to ensure maximum crispness. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months with parchment between layers.
