Grain-Free Seed Crackers

Servings: about 20 pieces
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1/3 cup chia seeds
• 1/3 cup flax seeds
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/3 cup sesame seeds
• 1/3 cup amaranth seeds
• salt, pepper, pepper flakes, thyme
• water, as needed

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Process everything in a food processor, adding water until you have a thick batter (thicker than pancake batter). When you have the consistency you want, spread it on a silicone sheet or parchment paper and bake.

Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes per side but watch it closely! Use common sense and don’t burn them. Or use a lower oven temperature/longer duration than 300 degrees F, i.e. 200 degrees F.
