Ingredients

  • 1 cup sprouted quinoa flour
  • 3/4 cup corn flour not corn starch
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried herbs such as thyme or rosemary
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons raw sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons caraway seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  • Cut two pieces of parchment paper to the length of your sheet pans. You'll need two sheet pans for this recipe.
  • Process shredded coconut into a coarse meal, in a food processor or blender.
  • In large mixing bowl whisk together dry ingredients: flours, coconut meal, seeds and seasonings. Stir in olive oil with a fork until mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in water and form dough into a ball. Dough will be sticky to the touch. Cover bowl with a tea towel and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half and pat each half into a rectangular shape. Place each half on the pieces of parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment or wax paper and roll out dough, trying to keep it into a rectangle as you go, to 1/8" thickness.
  • Peel back the top piece of parchment and sprinkle dough with 1 tablespoon each of the sesame seeds and caraway seeds. Replace the paper and gently use the rolling pin to press seeds into the dough.
  • Cut dough into approximately 1" wide squares with a pastry cutter, pizza cutter or knife. The sunflower seeds will catch on the blade, but this did not bother me. If you want a perfect clean cut, then you can chop seeds into smaller pieces before adding them to the dough.
  • Slide parchment with the dough onto each baking sheet and bake at 350˚F for 35-40 minutes. Switch pans halfway through baking. The crackers are done when they are golden brown with crisp edges.
  • Transfer pans to cooling racks and cool for 10 minutes before serving. Break apart the crackers and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Quinoa flour can be replaced with buckwheat flour.
If you are sensitive to coconut, try replacing it with almond meal. Use 1/2 cup of corn flour and 1/2 cup of almond meal instead of the amounts listed above.
Use ground/milled whole grain corn flour, not cornstarch, which is also known as cornflour in the UK.
