Servings: 43 crackers 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Flaxseed Meal 
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder 
• 4 tbsp Za’atar seasoning
• 1 tbsp organic black sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp raw sunflower seeds
• 2 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds
• 2 tbsp hemp seeds
• 1/2 cup raw cashews 
• 1/3 cup raw walnuts
• 1/2 cup almonds
• 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil
• 1 cup water 

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven 350F. 
• In a large mixing bowl, add in the flax meal, nutritional yeast and spices and mix well. 
• Add all of the nuts and seeds to a food processor and pulse till you have a powdery crumble. 
• Now add in the flax meal, nutritional yeast and spices. Pulse till everything is mixed together. 
• Add in the sun dried tomatoes and water, then blend until a dough-like ball forms. If the dough appears dry, add an additional tablespoon of water to achieve the consistency. 
• Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl, then use your hands to finish mixing everything together. 
• Take 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Repeat until you’ve formed little balls with all of the dough. 
• Place a dough ball between parchment paper. Using the bottom of a pint glass, evenly press it down to create a round disc approximately over 2 inches in diameter. Repeat for all of the balls. 
• Arrange the round crackers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper for baking. 
• Use a fork to gently pole a couple of rows of holes into the top of each cracker. Sprinkle it with salt.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops of the crackers and the edges are golden brown. 
• Transfer crackers to a baking rack and let them cool completely.
