How to Make Chia Seed Crackers

Making Chia Seed Crackers is like playing with dough—except it’s a million times healthier! Here’s the good news: you don’t need fancy tools or skills. Just gather your ingredients, and let’s get cracking (pun intended)! 😊

1. Combine chia seeds, almond flour, rice flour, and salt in a bowl. Mix it well; think of it as a little flour party!
2. Add filtered water and blend everything into a sticky dough. If it’s a bit gooey, don’t stress; that’s just part of the charm.
3. Cover the dough tightly with cling film and allow it to rest for about 25 minutes. This step is crucial—let those flavors mingle and get cozy.
4. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Aim for a thickness of about 2 mm. Go thin, go crispy!
5. Peel back the top layer of parchment and use a knife or wheel cutter to score the dough into cracker shapes. Get artsy with it!
6. Pop the scored dough into an oven preheated to 160°C (320°F) or 140°C (285°F) for fan settings. Bake for around 60 minutes until firm. They’ll crisp up more once they’re cool, so keep an eye on that oven.
7. Once they’re golden and firm, transfer the slab to a wire rack to cool completely. Just be patient, okay?
8. Snack away immediately or stash them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
