Easy High Fibre Seedy Crackers

 

I don’t know about you, but I love a good seedy cracker. They’re packed with fibre, healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like calcium, zinc, and magnesium – perfect for keeping kids (and us grown-ups) fuelled throughout the day. The only problem? Store-bought ones cost a fortune and disappear in a single afternoon. These homemade seedy crackers take a little time to make, but you’ll end up with a big batch of nutrient-dense crackers that taste amazing and last you all week. They're a perfect lunch box addition for you or the kids - team them with cheese (or cottage cheese), your favourite dip or smashed avo - they taste great!

 

Yields: 2 trays of crackers

 Ingredients:

  • ½ cup psyllium husk 
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds 
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds 
  • ½ cup chopped apricots or other dried fruit 
  • ¼ cup black chia seeds 
  • ¼ cup powdered parmesan 
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 cup warm water 
  •  Pinch of salt 

 

Method:

  1. Add dry ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Pour over warm water and mix again. Leave to soak for 15 minutes until chia and psyllium husk has absorbed the liquid.
  2. On a large baking tray lined with baking paper spoon out half of mixture. Place another sheet of baking paper on top of the mixture and use a rolling pin to roll out the cracker mixture until it is about 3mm thick.
  3. Bake in a hot oven at 170ºC for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and slice into desired cracker shape.
  4. Re bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and allow to cool.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 with remaining mixture. Store crackers in airtight container & enjoy with favourite dip or topping!

Notes: • High fibre snack to serve alongside dips or cheeses • Perfect for afternoon slump to provide quick energy boost • Mix your own combinations of dry ingredients depending on taste • Can add nuts if not going in school lunchbox
