Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup Chickpea Flour Providing structure and nutty flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Sunflower Seeds Adds crunch and healthy fats; can be swapped with pumpkin seeds.
  • 1/4 cup Sesame Seeds Enhances flavor and texture; optional.
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Flaxseeds Acts as a binding agent providing omega-3 fatty acids.
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds Offers additional binding; can be omitted.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Adjust according to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano Adds herbal aroma; substitute with Italian seasoning.
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast Delivers cheesy flavor; omit if unavailable.
  • 1 cup Boiling Water Activates flours and seeds; crucial for texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds (if using), ground flaxseeds, chia seeds (if using), salt, oregano, and nutritional yeast.
  3. Pour in the boiling water and mix well until everything is combined.
  4. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to allow the seeds to absorb the water.
  5. Spread the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing it down to an even thickness.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and firm.
  2. Remove from the oven, let it cool completely, and then break it into pieces or cut into squares.

Notes

Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to two weeks. Experiment with flavors by adding garlic powder or chili flakes. Adjust the consistency by modifying the boiling water.
