    The health benefits of flaxseeds

    Flaxseeds are also known as linseeds and although tiny, they pack a nutritional punch! They are low in carbs, high in fibre, magnesium and rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseeds are also a great source of ligans, which have strong antioxidant properties.

    Flaxseeds are best used ground to use their nutritional properties.   Grind them in your coffee grinder until you have a fine powder.

    How to make flaxseed crackers

    The three ingredients to make these low carb crackers are:

    • Ground flaxseed – either dark or golden
    • Cheddar cheese – I prefer a strong cheddar cheese for extra flavour. Block cheese is preferable to ready shredded.
    • Cayenne pepper – This spice goes well with the cheese

    Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until you have a dough. Then roll out the dough, bake and voila!

    Store the crackers in an airtight container in the fridge. They should keep for a week but mine have never lasted that long!

    Top your crackers with one of these ideas:

    • Jalapeno cream cheese dip
    • Savoury Chia Jam
    • Cajun eggplant chia dip
    • Zucchini Hummus

    Recipe Tips

    For extra crispy crackers, leave them to cool in the oven.

    Make vegan by omitting the cheese and use water to bind the flaxseed to a dough by hand.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 cup flaxseed, ground
    • 1 cup Cheddar cheese
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees
    • Grate the cheese. It's best to use block Cheddar rather than ready shredded.
    • Place the cheese, ground flaxseed and cayenne pepper in a food processor.
    • Blitz until the mixture goes from breadcrumbs into a dough.
    • Roll out the dough in between two layers of parchment paper. I roll mine out to about 1 cm thick. The thinner the dough, the crispier the cracker will be.
    • Cut the dough into squares. The size can vary to your own choice. Mine were about a square inch.
    • Place the squares on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
    • Bake for 20 minutes and then turn the squares over to cook for a further 10 minutes.
    • Remove to cool. As they cool they will harden.
