Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup buckwheat flour (or gluten free oat flour)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds soak for 5-8 minutes in 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degress F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a measuring cup, add 2/3 cup water and stir in 1/4 cup of chia seeds. Set aside for a few minutes to thicken.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sesame seeds, baking powder, and pinch of salt.
  • Add water and thickened chia seed mixture. Stir to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  • Divide the dough in half between the two baking sheets.
  • Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the dough and flatten with hands a bit before rolling out. You'll want to roll it out to a thin consistency as they will rise a bit in oven; about 1/8 of an inch. Keep in mind that the thicker you roll your crackers the longer they will take to bake.
  • Place both baking sheets in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Using a pizza cutter, cut your crackers into the desired shape and size. Place both baking sheets back into the oven for another 10 minutes.
  • Start to remove some of the crackers from the outer edges; these will harden first (before the center crackers).
  • Space out the remaining crackers, and put back into oven for another 8-10 minutes. You might need to let them bake another 5 minutes, after you've removed more crackers from the edges. Allow to cool completely in bowl or jar. Enjoy!
