Note
Why are these crackers a great homemade snack?
One of the best things about these crackers is how simple the ingredient list is. Instead of a packaged snack with a long ingredient list, you only need chickpea flour, chia seeds, olive oil, water, and salt. You can also control how thin you roll the dough, how crispy you bake the crackers, and how much salt you use.
Chickpea flour is naturally rich in plant-based protein and fiber, while chia seeds add additional fiber and healthy fats. They are especially handy to keep around for when you want something crunchy without reaching for a typical packaged snack.
Are these crackers gluten-free?
Yes, chickpea flour and chia seeds are naturally gluten-free. However, if you need the crackers to be strictly gluten-free, choose certified gluten-free chickpea flour and chia seeds and make sure the other ingredients and preparation surfaces are not exposed to gluten.
- Roll the dough as thinly as possible for extra crispy crackers.
- Cut the crackers before baking to make them easier to separate afterward.
- If the crackers are still slightly soft after baking, return them to the oven for a few extra minutes.
- Let them cool completely before storing, as they become crispier as they cool.
