Sesame and Herb Crackers

Sesame Crackers

Happy Easter everyone!!
Happy Birthday Annette!!!
I scored at Big Lots today.
I found Bob's Old Red Mill Golden Flax Meal (16 oz) for $4.00 and Bob's Old Red Mill Flax Meal ( 32oz) for $5.00. I also picked up a couple cans of coconut milk for $1 each.
So today I made crackers using the flax I got at Big Lots.

Scored at Big Lots

Crackers are super easy to make and they take just a few minutes to mix up, roll out, cut into squares with a pizza cutter and pop in the oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes.

Sesame Crackers

1 Cup Flax Meal

2 Cups Almond Flour/Meal

1 1/2 Tsp Celtic Sea Salt

1 Cup Sesame Seeds (I used black and white sesames seeds)

2 Tbls 21 Seasoning Salute (I got at Trader Joes)

2 Eggs, Whisked until frothy

2 Tbls Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1. In large bowl, stir flax meal, almond flour, salt, sesame seeds, eggs and oil until well blended.
2. Separate dough into two halves.
3. Form each into a ball and place between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll out each ball to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
4. Place parchment paper on baking sheet and use a pizza cutter to cut 2 inch squares.
5. Place in 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
6. Cook completely.
7. Store in zip lock bag.

The original recipe came from Elana's Pantry. I changed it up some. Since I scored on the Flax Meal, I thought it would be fun to toss some into these crackers, Worked nicely. 

Flax is a great source of fiber and is rich in Omega 3's. 

These savory crackers are full of good wholesome ingredients. I use these as an alternative to corn chips and potato chips and they go great with homemade guacamole and salsa. They are also great with some almond butter slathered on.

So with a little planning you can keep these savory crackers on hand too. 

Enjoy!!
