These healthy 6-seed crackers are super simple to make. They're crunchy, toasty, and nutty - and full of flax seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and hemp seeds. Next time you're craving a crispy, salty (but healthy snack), make these delicious plant-based, gluten-free, low-carb, keto-friendly, vegan crackers!

Why You Should Make These
- Flavor and Texture. Okay, so these have the crunchiness I know we all crave, along with the toasty nutty flavor from all the delicious seeds.
- Easy! Mix all the ingredients together, let it thicken, spread it all out, then bake until crunchy and toasty.
- It's Magic. The chia seeds turn gelatinous in the water and bind the seeds together. Once the seeds are baked and toasted - it's like magic - the flavors come together into a perfect little cracker!
- Whole Food and Healthy. Nuts and seeds are a whole food full of healthy oils and contain a good amount of protein. This recipe is vegan, gluten free, low carb, keto, sugar free, and plant-based.
What You'll Need
For such minimal ingredients, you'll be amazed at how much flavor these crackers have. Seriously.
Ingredients
- Seeds. Flax, chia, pumpkin, sunflower, hemp, and sesame seeds were all used.
- Water.
- Seasonings. Dried oregano, garlic powder, and table salt. That's it!
Special Equipment
- Metal sheet pan
- Parchment paper
For exact ingredient quantities, please see the recipe card below!
Substitutions and Variations
- Spicy - add cayenne pepper or chili flakes for some spice.
- Other seasoning ideas - use everything bagel seasoning or a cajun seasoning. Both of these have salt so you'll need to reduce the amount of table salt.
- Dried herbs - it doesn't take much to add flavor to these. I kept it simple with just oregano but you can use a blend such as Italian seasoning.
- Do not substitute the chia seeds - they are essential to binding the crackers together.
- Swap out seeds - Sesame seeds can be substituted for the hemp seeds in a similar quantity. As long as you keep a similar ratio of seeds to water (and don't change the chia seeds) you can swap any favorite seed. I prefer a blend of larger seeds with smaller ones. Also, black sesame seeds are really pretty to use instead of the white ones.
