Looking for a wholesome, gluten-free snack that’s as nourishing as it is versatile? These homemade seed crackers are by far the best I’ve ever made – crunchy, satisfying, and packed with flavour. With just a few simple ingredients like rice flour, olive oil, and mixed seeds, they come together easily and taste amazing.

I love them dipped in hummus as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or topped with my favourite spreads and proteins for a lighter lunch. They also shine on a grazing platter and, wrapped in cellophane, make a thoughtful edible gift.

Whether you’re planning healthy snacks for the week, feeding friends, or simply looking for a gluten-free cracker recipe that actually satisfies – you’ll keep coming back to this one again and again.

Introduction

Easy Seedy Crackers (Gluten-free, Vegan, and so addictive!)

45 mins

Makes 32 crackers (depending on size)
Cook Mode: OFF

Ingredients

Servings: Makes 32 crackers (depending on size)
  • 160 rice flour
  • 40 pumpkin seeds
  • 35 sunflower seeds
  • 30 sesame seeds
  • 20 linseeds
  • 15 chia seeds
  • 8 dried herb or seeds for flavour (see tips)
  • 1 salt
  • 60 extra virgin olive oil
  • 200 boiling water
  • 1 flaky sea salt for sprinkling
  • 2 poppy seeds or sesame seeds for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat the oven to 150°C fan bake:

  1. Line 2 x baking trays with baking paper (mine measure 24cm x 36cm each – inside tray, see notes).

 

Mix ingredients:

  1. In a large bowl, combine rice flour, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, linseeds, chia seeds, dried herb or seed flavour and salt. Stir until well distributed. 
  2. Pour in the olive oil and boiling water. Stir quickly with a spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms. 

 

Shape the crackers:

  1. Divide the mixture in two.
  2. Place one portion of dough on a lined tray.
  3. Lay a second sheet of baking paper on top and roll the dough out as thinly and evenly as possible (the thinner, the crispier).
  4. Remove the top sheet and save it to use again for the second batch.
  5. Score the dough lightly into cracker-sized pieces with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  6. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and flaky sea salt.
  7. Repeat with the second portion of dough, reusing the baking paper.

 

Bake & Cool:

  1. Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until golden. Rotate the tray halfway for even baking. 
  2. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Break along the scored lines into crackers. 
  3. Keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage. 

Tips

  • Flavour twist – Try fennel, rosemary, or a sprinkle of cumin and chilli flakes for extra kick.

  • Roll it thin – Trace the tray onto baking paper with a pencil, then roll the dough out on the bench as thin as possible. Trim to fit and bake the offcuts separately for taste tests.

  • Seed swap – Adjust the ratios to what you have — more pumpkin seeds, extra sesame, or skip the herbs if needed.

  • Keep it rustic – No need for perfect squares; break into shards for that homemade look.
