Ingredients

2 cups water
½ cup ground flaxseed
¼ cup flaxseeds
1½ cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup whole-grain gluten-free flour such as sorghum, millet, teff, or a blend
¾ cup pumpkin seeds
¾ cup walnuts chopped
⅓ cup sunflower seeds
⅓ cup sesame seeds
⅓ cup almonds or ½ cup almond meal

Instructions

Heat oven to 325°F. Stir water, ground flaxseed, and flaxseeds together in a mixing bowl.
Stir in oats, salt, flour, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds, stirring well after each addition.
Process almonds in a food processor or blender until finely ground; stir into seed mixture.
Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Place half of the mixture on each baking sheet. Spread out thinly and evenly with a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon until it measures 12x15 inches.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into 2x3-inch rectangles using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Bake until the outer crackers become fully crisp and lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Remove the crisp ones and return the rest to the oven until they become crisp, about 10-20 minutes. If not fully crisp, place upside down on the baking sheets and return to the oven; turn off oven and let continue to crisp in the oven for 15 minutes. When cool, break the crispbread apart.
Store in an airtight container. Makes 60 large crackers.

Notes

Variations:

Substitute ground chia seed for all or part of the ground flaxseed.
Add herbs, garlic, or spices to taste.
Non-Gluten-Free: Substitute whole wheat or rye flour for the gluten-free flour.

Tip:

If not fully crisp, turn the crispbread over on the baking sheet and return to the oven. Turn the oven off and let continue to crisp for about 15 minutes.
