Ingredients & Substitutions
Here’s everything you need to make these crunchy seed crackers:
Oat Flour: This is my favorite base for these crackers – it’s light and helps bind everything together without being heavy. Don’t have oat flour? Just blitz some rolled oats in your blender! Or you can swap in twice as much almond flour if you want them extra low-carb.
Pumpkin Seeds: I love the nutty crunch these add. If pumpkin seeds aren’t your thing, just throw in more sunflower seeds or even some chopped walnuts instead.
Sunflower Seeds: These give a nice buttery flavor that works so well here. I’ve used chopped almonds when I was out of sunflower seeds, and they worked great too!
Sesame Seeds: You can’t have everything bagel flavor without sesame seeds! I stick with white ones, but black sesame seeds look super pretty if you have them on hand.
Ground Flax Seed: This is my secret binding ingredient – plus it adds omega-3s and fiber. No ground flax? Use extra ground chia seeds instead.
Chia Seeds: I always keep these in my pantry – they help hold everything together while adding nutrition. Hemp seeds work as a substitute in a pinch.
Everything Bagel Seasoning: This gives that classic flavor we all crave! I buy mine pre-mixed, but you can easily make your own with some dried garlic, dried onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and salt.
Salt: Just a touch enhances all the flavors. I prefer sea salt, but whatever you have works fine!
Water: Nothing fancy here – just enough to create the right consistency. Sometimes I use vegetable broth for extra flavor when I have some open in the fridge.

How to Make My Savory Snack Seed Crackers Recipe
Here are easy, detailed, step-by-step instructions that are also repeated in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
Step 1: Prepare the Seed Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup oat flour, 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons ground flax seed, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add 1/2 cup water to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia and flax seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a sticky, paste-like consistency.
Step 2: Spread and Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Transfer the seed mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the mixture very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) and as evenly as possible. Make sure there aren’t any holes in the mixture, as these areas will cook too quickly and burn.
For more even baking, spread the mixture slightly thicker around the edges than in the center, as the edges tend to cook faster.
Optionally, sprinkle a small amount of coarse sea salt over the top for extra flavor and crunch.
Step 3: Bake to Crispy Perfection
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they’re lightly browned and crisp.
For perfectly shaped crackers: Bake for 15 minutes initially, then remove from the oven. While the mixture is still soft but starting to firm up, use a pizza cutter, knife, or pastry scraper to score lines where you want the crackers to break. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Watch carefully in the final minutes of baking, as the crackers can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking along the score lines. This cooling time is crucial for achieving the perfect crunch.
Expert Recipe Tips
Let the mixture rest: Don’t skip the 10-minute resting period. This allows the chia and flax seeds to absorb liquid and bind everything together properly.
Spread as thinly as possible: The thinner your crackers, the crispier they’ll be. An offset spatula or the back of a measuring cup works great for spreading evenly.
Make perfectly shaped crackers: Scoring the dough halfway through baking ensures clean breaks rather than random crumbles when cooled.
Watch the edges: If you notice the edges browning too quickly, cover just those parts with small strips of foil to prevent burning.
Ensure even thickness: Try to spread the mixture as evenly as possible for uniform baking. Any too-thin spots will burn before the rest is done.
Delicious Serving Suggestions
- Homemade ranch dip: I like to serve these crackers with my protein-packed cottage cheese ranch dip. You’ll love it because it adds creaminess that perfectly complements the crunch of the crackers. Or try my cheddar greek yogurt cheese dip on these crispy crackers!
- Honey mustard: Serve with my simple honey mustard dip for a sweet-savory combination. This bright, tangy dip cuts through the nuttiness of the seeds for a balanced bite.
- Avocado mash: I spread ripe, mashed avocado on these crackers for a quick snack. You’ll love how the creamy avocado pairs with the crunchy texture for a satisfying healthy fat boost.
- Crumbled over salads: Break these crackers into pieces and use as crunchy salad toppers. The savory everything bagel flavor adds a perfect finishing touch to fresh greens.
