These delicious seed crackers are made with wholesome ingredients like pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. Collagen protein powder and coconut oil are also incorporated into the recipe to add protein and healthy fats.
Similar to my sourdough discard crackers, I like to finish them off with a sprinkle of za'atar seasoning, but that's totally optional!

🛒 What You Need For This Recipe
🔖 Ingredients & Substitutions
- Chia seeds & flax seeds: These act as a binder when mixed with boiling water, giving the seed mixture its spreadable, jell-like texture. You could also use psyllium husk.
- Additional seeds: I use flax seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), and sesame seeds. Hemp seeds would also work well.
- Collagen powder: This is optional, but adds more protein.
- Coconut oil: Extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil are great substitutions.
- Seasoning: Sea salt is really all you need, but you can also use onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, everything but the bagel seasoning, or herbs like thyme & rosemary.
🧀 How to Make Seed Crackers
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F
Step 1: Mix sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, salt, and protein powder into a medium-sized bowl. Add coconut oil, and boiling water. Stir, and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
Pro Tip: This resting period will allow the mixture to thicken and jell so don't skip that part!
Step 2: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Pour the seed mixture into the pan. Smooth into an even layer using a rubber spatula. Bake in the oven, on the lower rack, for 30 minutes. If the mixture still feels wet, continue to bake, checking at five-minute intervals.
Pro Tip: Be sure to use a piece of parchment paper, not wax paper, because they are not the same! Waxed paper is not recommended for use in the oven.
Step 3: Remove the baking tray from the oven, and cut the seed crackers into small squares. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool before storing in a plastic ziplock bag.
Pro Tip: Before cutting them into squares, you want the mixture to be firm but not crispy so that it doesn't crumble and crack.
