Chia and Flax Seed Crackers (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

If you need ideas on how to ditch bread in your diet you will love this video on how to make chia and flax seed crackers.   I make these crackers in the dehydrator in order to keep the ingredients technically “raw” (anything heated at 118 degrees or below is considered raw).  The reason being is we aren’t killing off some of the vitamins and maybe more importantly the enzymes in food which literally keep us alive and healthy.  My interview with Supermodel Carol Alt (who mostly eats a raw diet) inspired this recipe!

All you need is 4 ingredients to make these Kaufmann diet friendly crackers.  If you are following the Doug Kaufmann diet, this recipe is a great option and would be considered Kaufmann 1 diet friendly (formally known as Kaufmann phase 1.)

What You Will Need To Make Chia Seed & Flax Seed Crackers

1 cup Organic Chia Seeds
1/2 cup Organic Flax Seeds
1/4 cup salted Sunflower Seeds (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Seasoning of your choice (I used Everything but the bagel seasoning)

Instructions For Making Chia Seed & Flax Seed Crackers

See video for dehydrator instructions and set dehydrator to 118 degrees (on some dehydrators you may have to bump up the temperature to get an internal temp of 118. After about two hours flip over and remove silicone lining so air can crisp the other side. Break into cracker size pieces.  I consider this a great Kaufmann diet breakfast option or for a mid-day snack.

If using an oven – I haven’t tried it this way, but I would suggest an oven temp of 200 degrees. Bake on one side until crispy then flipping over until the other side is crispy. Break into cracker size pieces.

Note – this recipe is my own, but it is allowed on the Kaufmann 1 diet recipe.  For more Kaufmann diet recipes, see my recipe section.  To learn why my health issues forced me to start the Kaufmann diet, see my interview with Doug Kaufmann – host of Know the Cause.
