These are kind of a cross between a cracker and a chip. We really like eating them with hummus and veggies for lunch, they are also very good on their own as a snack too.
This recipe was taken from Dr. Fuhrman's recipe library in the member center, submitted by rgosky.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sunflower seeds, soaked for 4-6 hours, drained
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup Bragg Liquid Aminos, if desired
- 2 cups flax seeds, soaked in 1 1/3 cups water for 4-6 hours
Preparation
- Blend sunflower seeds with onions and garlic in a blender. Add a little water if necessary.
- Remove to bowl and add spices and Braggs Aminos, if you are using it. If you are not using it, then add a little more water.
- Add flaxseeds and mix well.
- Spread onto non-stick dehydrator sheets (or wax paper) and dry at 105 degrees for 6 hours. Remove non-stick sheets, flip, and continue to dry for additional 6 hours.
- Break into cracker-sized pieces.
Notes
If you don't have a dehydrator, spread the mixture out on baking sheets and put the oven at the lowest setting and bake. Be careful because the oven can dehydrate faster and may burn them depending on how low your oven goes.
If you spread the batter too thin when dehydrating, they can be quite brittle/crumbly. You may need to experiment with this a bit.

dumb question?
These look yummy, but I have to ask - do you mean sunflower nuts? You don't mean to grind them up, shell and all, do you?
Yes, but we call them
Yes, but we call them sunflower seeds and no we use shelled seeds. We buy them in bulk packages at the health food store.
Oh, thank you! I might try
Oh, thank you! I might try to make these this weekend sometime! Yum!
I thought flax seeds had to
I thought flax seeds had to be ground to get their nutrients? Can I use ground instead, do you think? As that is all I have. Eating lowcarb & really missing crackers :) Think these would be great with gauc too.
You are correct, grinding
You are correct, grinding flax seeds is much more beneficial than just plain whole ones. I don't see why you couldn't use ground ones instead, but the proportions would be different, so you would need to experiment to see what amount of ground flax works best.
