Well... now you don't have to! These seed crackers make a wholesome snack with a delightful crunch and a nutritional punch. In this recipe, combine sesame and flax seeds with farm-fresh eggs and spices.
Use a silicone baking mat to line a cookie sheet. Pour the seed mixture onto the silicone mat. It tends to slide around, so keep a spatula on hand to spread it. If thin crackers are preferred, divide the mix into two. What’s good about this recipe is that no trans fats are used because the crackers are baked instead of fried.
They are crunchy, savory, and very versatile. Any type of seeds, except chia, which absorb a lot of liquid, can be used as long as you stick to the ratios. For those who have conditions and must avoid whole seeds, the ingredients can be ground prior to adding the eggs.
Would you like to give a great bariatric friendly gift? The seeds can be pre-mixed in a large container and portioned in zip lock bags, with spices and all. The bags can be labelled with stickers that say, “Add three eggs, mix, and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until crunchy.”
You can now make snacks in less time compared to making the trip to the store and buying them. Use these on salads or as a late night bite, since they won’t raise your blood sugar levels before bed.

Bake at 400 for 15 to 18 minutes. I pull mine from the oven at about 12 minutes and score them in cracker size with a pizza cutting wheel before they get too crunchy - then return them to the oven to finish. Break into pieces. They should be crunchy.
If they do not break with a snap, put them back in the oven on warm until they are completely dry.
Cook's Notes:
If they do not break with a snap, put them back in the oven on warm until they are completely dry.
Cook's Notes:
- Serve with cheeses, hummus, baba ganoush (eggplant hummus), and fresh fruit. Dip in a sunny side up egg for a savory crunch.
- Switch around your seasoning, Use Ranch Dressing mix - or Taco Seasoning - or Sriracha powder - I like the Sazon Complet from Badia Seasonings. Make a dip from thick Greek yogurt and munch yourself into crunchy heaven
- The picture above shows crackers made with sesame and flax. Use what you have, just measure the seeds to make up 1 3/4 cup to three eggs ratio.
Be creative and enjoy.
