Chia & Sesame Seed Crackers – simple & delicious!

Chia & Sesame Seed Crackers are vegan, healthy and utterly yummy! Perfect for scooping up your favourite dip or topping with cheese.

If you’re anything like me you’ll have a bucket list of things that you keep meaning to make and never seem to get around to doing.

So I’m very pleased to say that I made these Chia & Sesame Seed Crackers this week as I’d never made crackers before. I found a recipe in Cooking for Geeks by Jeff Potter which I’ve adapted here.

One of the reasons I’ve wanted to make crackers is because my kids get through so many of them and the seeded ones are so expensive.

So after a rummage in my cupboards I found chia and sesame seeds which worked really well together. Best of all my kids loved my Chia & Sesame Seed Crackers as well as hubby and they had a great snap to them.

If I’d know it was so quick and easy to make crackers I don’t think I’d have left it this long to get around to making them.

Unlike cookie dough the cracker dough is much easier to handle and more akin to rolling out puff pastry.

The trick is to roll it out really thinly and prick over well with a fork to stop the crackers puffing up in the oven.

I paired my Chia & Sesame Seed Crackers (which are suitable for vegans) with some houmous but they’d be great with cheese or any other savoury dips.

Dips that go well with Crackers

• Smoked Mackerel Pâté 
• Houmous with Peanut Butter
• Easy Roasted Carrot Houmous
• Avocado Hummus
• Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Spread
• Cheesy Cashew Nut Dip

• Bring together with your hand to form a ball and knead in the bowl for a minute.
