Have you had them yet? Those crunchy, nutty flaxseed crackers in those fancy packages with the high price tag? They are savory, and taste, OH, SO GOOD with goat cheese.
I have been rationing my box of crackers — the boys don’t even know I have them. These crackers not only taste good, but they have absolutely no white or wheat flour in them…meaning, they do not impact my waistline.
Making them at home, I soon learned, was easier than the effort of trying to hide them. So easy.
All you do is mix ground flaxseed meal with a bit of salt, and just enough water to make them stick together — but not too much.
- 1 cup flax seed meal
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
From there — you can personalize your crackers — think of flatbread pizza for inspiration:
Other cheeses?
Sage — Rosemary, Basil — Arugula – endless options
Roasted garlic
Roasted tomatoes
Olives…
Then, you spread the flaxseed mixture in a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper). Then, use another clean sheet of parchment paper on top of your flaxseed mixture to “flatten” your crackers with a rolling pin.
You can “score” your crackers before they go into a 350 oven, for 20 minutes.
Just cook them into they are snappy.
This is a wonderful idea, I’ll have to attempt it with 10-grain.
