I’m a big snacker. I like to graze all day long. So I try to make sure that I always have little handy snacks available. One of my recent favorites are my nut-free Paleo Crackers.
These crispy little crackers are a delicious mix of sunflower, sesame, and flax seeds. You can also add in pumpkin seeds in place of the flax. They are so versatile and easy to make. I’ve made them several times and found that the proportions of seeds doesn’t matter so much as long as you add enough oil and water to make them stick together. You could substitute or add any yummy seeds that you like. I’m going to try hemp seeds next time.
Who doesn’t love a good cracker?
I actually consider crackers just a vehicle for spooning delicious dips and sauces into my mouth. My two favorite things to eat with these simple crackers are Parsnip Hummus and Vital Green Pesto. Or you could do what my little one does and just eat them with almond butter. I have been known to make them into a little treat by topping them with my Cardamom Fig Chia Jam.

Hi,
One of the ingredients is ‘1 cup sunflowers, soaked and dehydrated’. Can you tell me how long to soak and how to dehydrate?
Thanks 🙂
Here is a good explanation on how to do it—> http://wholelifestylenutrition.com/recipes/appetizers-snacks/is-soaking-nuts-necessary-how-to-properly-soak-your-organic-raw-nuts/
I soak mine overnight and dehydrate them at 105’F in my Excalibur until crispy. I store them in the fridge in a big mason jar. I use sunflower seeds for lots of things. I love them, and they make great flour for paleo baking.
Been looking for a grain/wheat free cracker to have ready as a snack. This is it. Was worried they would crumble, but no. They keep their shape are easy to prepare and most importantly absolutely delicious.
Question: I make these with pumpkin seeds. It I were to use flax could I use the seeds or do they need to be ground.

Hi, Nat! These crackers are very versatile. You would have to experiment with flax. They have a different consistency then pumpkin. You could try grinding them a bit or not. I would love to hear how it goes.

Hi. I loved these but my daughters didn’t like the sesame seeds. Do you think it would work replacing them with pepitas?
Thanks
You can totally experiment with any seeds that you like. This recipe is super versatile. 🙂
I add the caraway seeds…scrumptious

These sound great! Do you know how long they last and how they should be stored? Also, can they be saved in the freezer?
These crackers will last a few days in an air-tight container. I have not tried freezing them. I’m sure you can. You may have to crisp them up for a couple of minutes in a hot oven after your defrost them.
