Raw Flax Crackers

If you’re trying to eat more raw recipes, or even just a bit healthier, these flax crackers are a MUST. Do you know just how many things you can put on a flax cracker? There’s almost nothing you can’t put on them. And they’re SO easy to make - Mix, sit, spread, score, dry, done!

RAW FLAX CRACKERS [VEGAN]

INGREDIENTS

• 1 scant cup golden flaxseed (linseed)
• 2 tablespoons (40ml) golden flaxseed meal (linseed meal)
• 3/4 cup water
• 3 teaspoons tamari (or liquid aminos or soy sauce)
• 3 teaspoons agave (or maple syrup, coconut nectar or yacon syrup)
• 1/6 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/6 teaspoon garlic powder

PREPARATION

1. Mix the flaxseed and flaxseed meal in a bowl.
2. Combine the water, tamari, agave, and onion and garlic powder in a jug and mix until everything is thoroughly mixed.
3. Pour the water mix over the flaxseed mix and stir thoroughly.
4. Leave to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mix becomes thickened, but not too stiff.
5. Spread mix thinly over one dehydrator tray and score lightly with a spatula.
6. Dry for 12-36 hours at 100-115°F, flipping crackers once after 5-6 hours (optional). You could also dehydrate these in your oven set to the lowest temperature possible, with the door wedged open and the fan running. They won’t be raw, but they’ll still be much healthier than the alternatives.
7. Break crackers along score lines and store in an airtight container.

NOTES

You can mix up the flavourings for these flax crackers as much as you like. You could add dried or fresh herbs, chili powder, curry powder or even some powdered superfood greens if you like. The flaxseeds do have a very neutral taste, so you can get as creative as you like.
You can make these flax crackers perfectly plain if you like. Just leave out the braggs, agave, garlic and onion powder. The crackers may taste a little bland, but once you add super-tasty toppings to them, you won’t even notice!
You can also mix in the leftover pulp from making juice to add extra fibre and more flavor.
The key to making these crackers work is letting them sit until they just reach the right consistency. Too short, and the water will settle out of the mix once you spread it on the tray. Too long and you’ll have a hard time getting it spread thinly enough. So, just leave it for long enough so that the mix starts to hold its shape after you stir it.
Store in the fridge or freezer.
