I am always on the hunt for healthy and yummy snacks so when I come across a recipe that’s super simple filling and healthy I have to try it. Since I follow the F-Factor diet (read about it in my monthly goals) getting as much fibre into my system everyday is super important to me. When I saw Megan Shanley’s flax cracker recipe on instagram I knew I had to try it out and make it my own. I have been making these non stop for a few months. I tweaked the recipe to my liking, and now I’m ready to share this with all of you.
The main ingredient in these crackers are flax seeds you will get tons of fibre and omega-3’s in every single serving. Pair them with a your favourite dip or spread and I think you will be blown away by how satisfying such a simple snack can be. Personally I like to spread a little bit of herb and garlic cream cheese on them or even use them as a salad topper. Another thing I think they would be yummy with is some salmon or tuna salad. That’s next up for me to try!
The method to make these crackers is super simple. Just soak the flax seeds overnight, mix it one egg white and the seasonings of your choosing. My favourite combo is rosemary, garlic and onion. Then spread the mixture out on a baking sheet and bake at 275°F until the crackers are nice and crispy! Once they are cooled break them into small pieces and enjoy. See what I said, they’re super easy!
If you give these a try let me know what flavour combination you try. Next on my list is everything but the bagel seasoning! Happy snacking!
