Everything Bagel Seed Crackers (Easy Savory Snack)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Notes
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.
