1/2 cup pepita
1/2cupchia seeds
1/4cuphemp hearts
2Tbspground flax seeds
1/2cup oat flour
1cupwater
1tspsalt

1/4tspgarlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano, thyme or rosemary
dashcayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Using a food processor, coffee grinder or knife roughly chop sunflower and pepita seeds.
Combine sunflower, pepita, chia seeds, hemp hearts, flax seed and oat flour with water. Stir well.
Add seasonings and mix well.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) while mixture rests for 5-10 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. There should be no standing water remaining in the bowl.
Place a sheet of parchment paper about 12x16" on counter. Pour mixture onto paper and cover with a second sheet of parchment paper the same size. Use a rolling pin to flatten batter to 1/8-1/4" thickness in a rectangular shape.
Remove top parchment paper and carefully transfer bottom parchment with batter onto a baking sheet.
Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Use a pizza cutter or knife to score lines to shape your crackers. Return to oven for another 15 minutes.
Check crackers and gently flip over. Return to oven for another 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden around edges.
Let cool completely on pan. Store in an airtight container for 1 week. For longer storage, keep in freezer.
If crackers lose crispness over time, return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes until crisp.
Notes
The chia seeds are critical to holding these crackers together, do not swap them out. You can easily substitute other seeds (flax seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds) or ground nuts for the sunflower, pepita or hemp seeds.
