And when you’re hungry, looking for a quick snack, do you know how easy (and fast) is it to chuck some cashew cheese or some nut butter on a flax cracker?

Basic Raw Cracker Recipe

So I’d like to suggest that if you’re trying to eat more raw, or even just a bit healthier, that flax crackers are a MUST.

The only “fancy” piece of equipment I use is a dehydrator, and there are plenty of people who also make them in their ovens, so you have no excuses there.

You just mix everything together, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, until the mix starts to go clumpy, but not too thick.

I like to spread my flax crackers to about 1-2 seeds thick. Basically as thin as you can go without leaving holes.

Many people say to score them 1-2 hours into dehydrating, but I almost always forget, so I just do it at the start, and it seems to work well enough for me.

I dry my crackers overnight at least, and for up to two days (if I forget they’re in the dehydrator), but you really only need to do it until they’re dry, whenever that is.

These raw flax crackers are quick and easy to make - mix, spread, score, dry. And they're the perfect snack because they go with everything!

The hard outer coating of flaxseeds, combined with their small size, can make it hard for your body to get all of the valuable nutrients out of them.

Low Carb Raw Vegan Crackers

Although this is a bit wasteful, it doesn’t cause any problems, unless you find your digestive system is irritated by whole flax seeds.

To get the most out of your raw flaxseed crackers, make sure to chew them thoroughly or consider pre-soaking the seeds to make the shells softer.

Flaxseeds contain enzyme inhibitors that make it hard for your body to access all of the nutrients in them, and also softens their hard shiny coating.

Raw Multi Seed Crackers

Although I’ve never pre-soaked my flaxseeds, some of my readers have had great success using pre-soaked flaxseeds, either drained or straight into the blender without any additional meal.

If you use your oven, you have two options – cook them outright, or set your oven as low as possible and wedge the door open with the fan running.

To cook them outright, simply spread the mix on baking paper on a flay tray, score, and cook them at 180°C (375°F) for around 15 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until completely dry.

Nut Free Raw Crackers Without A Dehydrator Or Any Special Equipment

Other options for dehydrating raw food without a dehydrator include using a toaster oven, sundrying them, or building a make-shift dehydrator with a large box and fan heater.

If you find that your flaxseed mixture is not thickening up after the recommended 10-15 minutes, leave for a little longer, and keep stirring.

Although it’s never happened to me, one of my readers discovered this the hard way, and found that buying fresh flaxseeds made everything work perfectly.

As the crackers dry, the gummy flaxseed liquid settles down to the bottom and then dries in a funny “snail trail” like layer.

I was buying these amazing flax crackers by Nushie’s Natural from my local health food shop and the kids loved them, but they were often unavailable, so I was inspired to have a go at making my own.

I did try some recipes that I found online, but once again I found the flavours either too complex or too strong, so I went back to basics and fiddled with my recipe until I was happy with it.
