Cracker me up!

I´ve made these again and again and I never get sick of them! They go with every topping and can even be used as a delicious pizza base.

Completely gluten-free, low GI, sugar-free....basically free from all nasties. Now you might think that they must be nasty tasting since they´re so healthy. Well, think again! They´re crunchy, light and bursting with flavour and last but not least, super easy to make.

Now, I use a fan oven for this and try not to bake them at a higher temperature than 100°c. If I have time I dehydrate them over night on the lowest setting. The less heat, the more nutrients are retained but it takes longer. If you´re lucky enough to have a dehydrator, use it!

Let´s do this :)

Crispy Flax Crackers
 - should fill 2 oven trays

- 1 cup flaxseed soaked in 1 cup water overnight (2 hours will do if you´re in a hurry)
- 1 cup ground pumpkinseeds
- 1/2 cup ground sesame seeds
- 2 cloves of garlic, grated finely
- 1 large carrot, grated 
- 1 tsp seasalt, himalayan pink salt or Herbamare
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- Black pepper, ground
- juice of 1/2 lemon (or lime)


- Mix everything together in a large bowl (yes, all the gooey flax as well:))
- The consistency should be similar to a thick porridge - if you find it too thick, just add a bit    more water - and if too watery, add more ground seeds
- Line 2 oven trays with greaseproof parchment paper
- Preheat your oven to 100°C (or less if you have time)
- Spread your mixture thinly on the trays
- I wont give you an exact time because every oven will differ, but check after 30 minutes, what you are looking for is a dry surface
- When the surface feels dry, remove from oven, peel it off the sheet, flip it over and return to oven until dry on that side as well
- Don´t panic though it will break apart when you do the flipping because you will eventually break them up anyway :)

Voila, now you can enjoy these babies with your hummus, pesto, cheese....whatever floats your boat!
Bring them to work to impress or just have them all to yourself.

I have no idea how long they keep because they all end up in my belly long before they could possibly start going off. I assume they keep fine for at least 2 weeks though, especially if you keep them in a nice airtight container in a cool place.

Hope you enjoy
