Ingredients

½ cup ground flax seeds
½ cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup sesame seeds
½ cup hemp hearts
1 cup water
1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 C).
If you do not have ground flax seeds, use a blender, food processor, or a coffee grinder to grind the flax seeds into a powder. Add the pumpkin seeds to the blender and pulse until they are smaller chunks. In a medium bowl place the flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, water, and sea salt. and mix together. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place half the seed mixture on one pan and the rest of the mix on the other pan. Spread as thin as possible using a spatula without getting gaps or holes. Try to make the edges somewhat straight.
Bake the crackers for 8 minutes then remove the pan from the oven and cut into squares, I did 6 long rows by 8. Place the pans back in the oven and bake for another 15-18 minutes until crispy to the touch.

Notes

Alternatively, bake crackers without cutting them into squares halfway through baking and break the baked big cracker sheet into smaller pieces once it cools.

I baked these crackers one pan at a time. However, if you have a convection oven with a fan you could bake them at the same time. I would rotate them and switch racks halfway through.

Making them crispy again. If you find the crackers have absorbed moisture or become a little chewier after a few days, pop them on a cookie sheet and into the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-10 minutes. This will make them crispy again! This is also something you can do when guests are coming over and you want a delicious snack. They are super enjoyable, warm straight from the oven.

Storage and Freezing: These crackers will stay good for 1-3 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. There is nothing that goes 'bad' necessarily so they may just become stale after that time. These crackers can be frozen for 1-3 months in an airtight bag or plastic container.
