When you want to eat something like chips and dip but you want it to feel super healthy. YOU MAKE THIS! Also known as: I think I will be a bird in my next life because I really love eating seeds of all kinds. Baking with seeds makes me happy and this recipe makes me especially happy because you can use whatever seeds you have on hand, along with a large helping of super-good-for-you flaxseeds. Homemade crackers full of crunchy healthy seeds, and a mashed up bean dip topped with feta and cilantro to feed your healthy munchy fix. This is a tasty snack BUT it's also something you can feel good about because:
I like to have both whole flaxseeds and ground flax on hand to use for different purposes. Obviously if you buy whole flaxseeds you can always grind them yourself, but I use both kinds frequently so I buy both... Like I said, I am a bird. For all seeds (and nuts!), it's a good idea to keep them in the fridge or freezer so they last longer and don't go rancid. Switch up the seeds in the crackers depending on your preference/what you have on hand, same deal for the beans in the dip! If you have time and patience you can roll out the crackers and cut them into desired shapes... or you can be "rustic" like moi and just bake one giant sheet of cracker, breaking it up into shards after it's baked and cooled. Rustic it is. Flax Seed CrackersRecipe adapted from "Beauty Foods" by Caroline Artiss
